well hollywood has already tried this with giving pg-13 ratings to hellsing and chroncles of riddick and both had pretty lack luster sales. so in my mind trying to keep the rating low so 13-16 year olds can see it doesn't seem to affect ticket sales. unless they are 13-16 year girls going to see Titanic for the nth time. what i think is happening is those who can watch rated r films go to these movies, see that they aren't that great and tell ever one else how it's not worth seeing. they need to return to rated r sci fi films. the chronicles of riddick cost 120 million dollars to make and didn't even reach that much in ticket sales. the movie would have been better with the R rating and it may have done better with it.
van hellsing did make a decent amount but the movie could have been better. the only movie that makes any money with a pg-13 rating was spiderman.
