According to an article in this month's Atlantic Monthly, 52% of all movies released are R, while only 4% are G. However, the R-rated films netted less than 10% of profits, and G-rated moves around 50% of all film profits.
Just goes to show that Hollywood isn't in it for the money.
You also have to look at how much do R rated movies cost to put out as opposed to a G rated movie. If it costs 10 million to put out a R rated movie, and only 1 million to put out a G rated movie then with the R movie you are making about 11 million and with the G you are making 1.5 million. Does that sound right?
