Why don't they show NC-17 movies in theaters?!
Question: Why don't they show NC-17 movies in theaters!?
They have it on the rating chart, but you never see an advertisment for one!. I even looked up a list of movies on wikipedia that were supposedly rated NC-17 and then edited for content so that they could be considered rated "R" A lot of the titles I didn't know, but I did notice that the "Saw" movies were on the list!.!.!. so why would they change the rating!? Another question: when a DVD is labled "unrated" does that mean that it's an NC-17!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

Movies going into theaters should have an MPAA rating for release!. Now, theaters need to make back the money in movie sales that they paid for the film reels!. Hence, theaters only money makers are popcorn, soda, candy, food!. All the money incoming goes back to the movie production to pay for the reels they are showing in theater!. Typically, NC-17 do not get a lot sales due to limited audiences, though a few have been released!. Bruce Willis, Color of Night!? So, in order for a theater to play an NC-17, they need to have some assurance they will make money in tickets sales to pay for it!.
Now, an unrated does not mean NC-17!. Director's cuts of movies, added features, deleted scenes!.!.!.these are things added to discs that have not been reviewed by the MPAA, so these go to disc under unrated!.
Check out the below link on how MPAA rates!. Nothing really needs to go through MPAA before release on any form, but most movie theaters like to think they are somewhat family orientated!. An MPAA rating at least gives viewers an idea of what they will be expecting in the movie!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

They do show movies that are NC-17 in theaters, but they're usually rare and often foreign!. Most of the time, they show them in art house or independent theaters!. also, they don't usually advertise them!. They just have film critics review them, and that's how the audience finds out about them!.
Movies that are rated NC-17 are often considered hard to market, which is one reason that so few are produced!. People automatically assume that NC-17 is equivalent to the old "X" rating that they got rid of in the early '90s and that the film is going to be pretty much softcore porn!. The few NC-17 movies I've seen may have been a little racy by American standards but certainly not porn!. The three that come to mind are "Young Adam" (which I saw in the theaters and thought was great), "Y Tu Mama Tambien," and "Bad Education!." Adult subject matter to be sure, but definitely not porn!.
"Unrated" doesn't always mean "NC-17!." Sometimes, if a movie initially gets an NC-17 rating, they'll re-release it as "unrated" rather than cut out the content needed to get an R rating!. Other times, the movie just wasn't submitted to the MPAA, perhaps because it was small or foreign!. Still other times, it could be a director's cut or there's some other aspect of the version of the film that wasn't reviewed by the MPAA, even though the original version may have been released with a traditional rating!. So "Unrated" usually means just that, that it was released without an MPAA rating!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
