Movie theaters are in no way limited by law to certain MPAA rated films. That would be a gross violation of the 1st amendment.
The industry has more subtle ways of controlling theater owners.
- lutusp 13y agoI normally argue the opposite position, but I have to respond to this -- what a movie theater shows is its own business, because it's not a public forum. The First Amendment doesn't apply. If government tried to prevent a movie theater from showing certain content (as with obscenity rulings) that would be different.
