: : I see that all these movies try to avoid the "dreaded" NC-17 rating, but being rated R means you can't get in unless you're 17 anyway.
: : So what exactly is the difference between R and NC-17!?
: get in if you're under 17. NC-17 means you can't get in at all if you're under 17. A lot of theaters don't enforce the R rating, but ALL of them enforce the NC-17; therefore, if your flick gets an NC-17 rating, the box-office will automatically be low because teenagers make up a large percentage of the moviegoing public.
