Case in point -
PG-13 remakes of Robocop and Total Recall. By that logic, a PG-13 Basic Instinct remake is not too far away. |

Artistic consideration is out, maximizing revenue is in.

I got that beat. PG-13 remake of Showgirls. Or wasn't that already done with the 2010 film Burlesque?

As long as the movie/brand name draws people in and makes them pay for a ticket, Hollywood doesn't care about the quality.

How about a PG-13 zombie apocalypse film? Get Brad Pitt to star.

I agree, it's total bullshit. Hell, why not just make a PG-13 Last Tango In Paris while we're at it!

However, the ratings system have gotten tighter though as the years go by. PG or PG 13 movies of the 1980's were more violent and had some nudity and swear words that would immediately get labeled with a R nowadays. Temple of Doom for example would get hit with a R for sure nowadays with a still beating heart getting ripped out of some poor soul's chest.

You do get that rated R movies generally speaking means fewer viewers, right? Random hits like Passion of the Christ or Deadpool not withstanding look at the most money making movies of all time. None are rated R.
And lets be completely honest, did the original versions of Robocop and Total Recall NEED to be rated R in order to tell their stories? Not really. Those movies succeeded because of the imagination and action in them, not the blood and guts.
Did that rat in the "get your ass to Mars" scene really need to explode into a thousand chunks of bloody meat? How did that really make the movie better?
