New numbers show G-rated movies earn 3 to 5 times more than R-rated

New figures released by The Numbers, a Hollywood box office website, show that despite G-rated movies earning 3 to 5 times more that R-rated movies, Hollywood continues to pump out more and more R-rated fare, which may be contributing to a continuing decline in domestic movie ticket sales.

According to report, Hollywood released 207 R-rated movies in 2011, 193 in 2010, and 184 in 2009. Yet, the average R-rated movie in 2011 made only $10.8 million, compared to $12.6 million in 2010, and $14.9 million in 2009. ...

People are probably "burned-out" from watching R-rated movies since so many have been produced for so many years now. I'm old enough to remember when R-rated movies were "new", "exciting", and even "scandalous". Now they're old hat, and I suspect many people are now waxing nostalgic for the days when G-rated fare dominated the box offices. Also, (as NYP said below) fewer G-rated movies now means that each one gets a greater concentration of ticket-sales generated by our more traditional-minded folk who tend to eschew the so-called "mature-themed" movies.

Probably supply and demand.

Smaller supply of G films, makes the per movie demand higher.

Plus, R film dreck is real easy to just pump out of the sewer since there's plenty of it.

And, the cost of producing Gs is probably higher. Thus, the net profit could be less than Rs.
