Ahh what an interesting topic. The theater I work at is a 10 plex, first run. It would be beyond easy to let them all in. The GM doesn't care either way, but will enforce if the usher/box office attendants do.
And we do enforce.
Any typical weekend, we will receive flak from several grumpy moms, etc. TONS of kids buying to other titles planning to sneak in. Every 5 minutes you'll hear "Group of three boys, one with lime green jacket, bought to footloose, will try to sneak into paranormal" over the radio.... and 6 times out of ten, they'll try it, and we'll stop them.
Look at it this way...
It's much easier to follow a concrete set of rules to keep the rowdy kids out BEFORE they ruin the movie and you're having to explain to 50 angry adults why the kids are even in there in the first place and then handing out re-admits/refunds.......
So what do you do with the pg-13 movies where the same problems exists if not worse since more adults more than likely to be attending a pg-13 movie than a r rated horror movie? Parents must attend? no drop off of kids? Limit the number of kids who can sit together?
The original topic of rowdy kids for us is the same no matter the rating of the movie. Actually get more complaints like I mentioned above b/c very few 40+ adults are watching r rated horror movies.
