How old do you have to be to take someone thats 16 to a rated R movie?

Question

I want to take my younger brother to a rated R. I just want to know if there is a requirement age in order to take those younger. I know 17 year olds can get in for themselves but can't buy for anyone else.

Answer 1

For cinemark, I believe it's 21+ and it has to be someone in your family.

Answer 2

18

Answer 3

18

Answer 4

MPAA rating of R states that "children under 17 must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian" I think it's usually left up to the judgement of the theater staff, since it's not really clearly defined. But you will probably have a hard time convincing the theater staff that you are someone's Adult Guardian if you are only a few years older than them. Sorry.

Answer 5

uuuh no. if ur 17 or older u can buy tickets for whoever the hell u want and they can walk in waving and hollerin and flippin the consessions people off. any age can see a R movie, its just someone 17 or older has to buy it. nc-17 is no admittence under 17 but theirs only like 1 movie every 5 years that gets that rating. and if they do get that rating they cut some stuff out cause if they didnt no one would see it. (team america uncut would have been nc-17 so they had to take out half the sex scene)
