![]() Rating descriptors have been an element of every PG, PG-13, R and NC-17 rating since 1990, and each descriptor will continue to be tailored for every individual movie, as they have always been. The rating block features a more prominent rating descriptor box. This process considers various factors, including the content and rating of the feature and the advertised movie, in approving trailers that are compatible with the feature and its content. This does not represent a change in the way we approve trailers and other movie advertising, but rather a clearer and more accurate reflection of our approval process. As demonstrated below, the trailer tag gets to the point and tells audiences that the trailer they are watching is approved to play with the feature they came to see. The Check the Box campaign further enhances our educational tools for parents, with an updated rating block and trailer tag. The information in the box includes the letter rating, designating the level of content in the movie, and also the descriptor, giving a snapshot of the elements in the movie that lead to that rating.

In conjunction with our process of reviewing and rating movies, we take every step possible to ensure that all advertising content is suitable for the particular audience that views it. WHAT ABOUT MOVIE ADVERTISING IN THEATERS AND BEYOND? However, the overwhelming majority of filmmakers have their movies rated, and each member of the Motion Picture Association has agreed to have all its theatrically released movies rated. Submitting a movie for a rating is a voluntary decision made by filmmakers. Rather, ratings offer guidance to parents regarding the level of content in a movie. The ratings are not intended to approve, disapprove or censor any movie. Audiences and film critics make these determinations. DO RATINGS INDICATE IF A MOVIE IS GOOD OR BAD?
