As Watchmen fall another 62 % in its third weekend , is it a sign of things to add up ? harmonise to rumour , the flick ’s unsuccessful person to meet expectations may be consider the last knell for “ adult ” megahit .
Before Watchmen ’s acquittance , back when we were all guiltless and happy , I question about how much weight the movie ’s success or failure would have , and melodramatically reason out :

If it come after , then the threshold may be candid to more and more ambitious science fable movies ( whether based on comics or not ) . But if it fails , then maybe we ’ll end up with a film diligence that imagine that Transformers and X - Men Origins : Wolverine is all that musical style moving picture should aspire to … And that ’s a much outstanding disaster than suffer a elephantine alien squid for your orgasm .
And now IESB ’s anon. source at Warners is suggesting that I was n’t entirely unseasonable . Whether or not you consider Watchmen ’s box office to be winner or unsuccessful person is up to you ( Me , I ’m on the latter side , but I know that ’s controversial ) , but the amount of money it ’s made may be only one of many problems for the movie , according to the site :
You ca n’t take your kids to this one , not certain if you ’d even be comfortable learn it with your mother . Do n’t get me improper , I really like it and thought it was a terrific piece of filmmaking , but it ’s in spades for adult only . And no Thomas Kyd will be asking momma to buy them shirt or Rorschach masks from this one .
How much of the movie go market place – specifically those that go to see superhero / musical genre films – is cut out by rating a motion picture R versus a PG-13 ? Warner Bros. retrieve too much and is said to be focusing entirely on PG-13 shop superhero / tentpole flick only , by all odds harder than the “ family well-disposed ” superhero films of Fantastic Four but not in the roentgen rated mountain chain . Think about it , the movie going hearing is “ vast ” , now the genre / superhero pic blend in hearing is a portion of that “ Brobdingnagian ” and the R rated / genre / superhero movie going consultation is an even belittled destiny of that “ huge . ” It score a tidy sum of sense to make the motion picture for the largest audience possible and still prize the property .
The result of that school of thought process … ? Warner are plain feel unquiet about any “ tentpole ” moving-picture show that is n’t rated PG-13 . And it ’s not just superhero picture show that may be affected :
Not that it ’s a superhero plastic film , but it is a genre tentpole , Terminator Salvation , PG-13 or R ? WB want PG-13 , director McG wants R just like the originals . McG was outspoken about the ratings walloping at WonderCon 2009 who enounce he wants the Moon Bloodgood in the rainwater topless scene keep in the film . WB wants it nix to comply with the PG-13 guideline . This was before the R - rated Watchmen premier but the studio obviously already had the feel that PG-13 was the way to go to make the big box office bucks with the genre .
On the other deal , you could just try making cheaper / myopic / good ( delete as applicable ) movies . This is , of course , all heresay and hearsay decent now , but keep an eye on what rating exterminator : Salvation get , just in case .
No more roentgen - rated Superhero / Tentpole celluloid for Warner Brothers[IESB ]
