The Matrix Reloaded Will Be Widest "R" Release Ever
The Matrix Reloaded, which is expected to open in 3,000-plus theaters, will become Hollywood's widest R release ever, which could potentially hurt it in the box office, according to Variety.
Warner Bros. distribution chief Dan Fellman defends the film, saying that the Matrix franchise "is in a league of its own. It's on the borderline in terms of the rating. It might be R more for intensity than anything else. There's no sex, language or blood."
But Fellman allows that the potential box office windfall of PG-13 movies vs. R movies "sends a clear message to the industry."

Yes, it does send a rather concerning message... that only PG-13 movies can be successful, and that studios had better tone things down or lose out on ****eloads of business.

pity about that R rating. I don't think a movie should be restricted just for intensity.
Of course, considering how that lobby scene in the original Matrix caused some outbursts after Columbine, it might be a good idea to err on the side of caution.If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.
