What Does “R” Mean?
In the MPAA rating system, R stands for “Restricted.” It means the film may include strong language, intense violence, sexual content, or other mature themes. Viewers under 17 (or 18 in some states) must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Although the MPAA is in no way tied to rule of law—again, it’s a set of suggestions—we use it as a way to set admittance guidelines for our theatres (as do many film screening entities across the country). This is especially true when it comes to R ratings.
Cinemark’s R-Rated Policy
At Cinemark, no one under the age of 17 (18, in some states) is permitted to see an R-rated movie unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Also, To ensure an adult viewing experience, children under the age of 6 are not allowed into any R-Rated feature after 6 p.m. A physical ID is required and IDs will be checked. (Digital ID’s will not be allowed.)
Why R Ratings Matter
R-rated movies often feature mature humor, graphic violence, or intense emotional themes. Examples include:
Bridesmaids (2011)
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Get Out (2017)
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Crass humor, bloody battles, scary monsters, minute-long make outs—everything’s on the table, and there’s not much of a limit. Be advised!
