After that, films became all-in on PG or strictly R. The nanufactured middle ground became unacceptable to studios.


This was the case in the 90s. I remember being a little kid in that decade seeing all these cool TV spots for movies I wanted to see. Most of them ended up being R and my parents were the type that would sit through a PG-13 movie before deciding whether it was right for me to see it.

The rating for these films were either G, PG, or R. PG-13 didn't seem to start being used consistently until the late-90s.

It was this new weird thing...with a Scarlett letter - the early 90's were the fruition.... Studios didn't know what to do and were afraid teens couldn't carry films...different today.

But they did go Puritan, what used to be PG went stupid....with a rating nobody wanted. They wanted all audience's or just adults.
.

I think it helped ruin movies by making everything geared toward children and all comic book movies. Teens use to watch Jaws, now they watch the Fantastic Four.
