NOPE was rated R for violence, language, and drug use.
The MPAA has released its ratings for the year 2021, and it’s clear that Hollywood has gone off the rails. While there are some surprises, such as the fact that NOPE was rated R for violence, language, and drug use, most of the ratings make sense. However, there are a few head-scratchers in here as well. The MPAA is responsible for rating all films in America to inform parents of potentially objectionable content in movies. The organization is an independent body funded by movie studios to provide ratings on a voluntary basis.
The MPAA’s job is to assign ratings based on what they believe will be most appropriate for children under 17 years old. Films are assigned one of six categories: G (general audiences), PG (parental guidance suggested), PG-13 (parents strongly cautioned), R (restricted), NC-17 (no one 17 and under admitted) or X (no one 17 and under admitted). These categories vary slightly from country to country depending on local laws.
What did NOPE get rated?
“NOPE was rated R for violence.”
The MPAA doesn’t just rate movies; it also rates television shows such as Parenthood. However, NOPE, a horror film about an evil doll named NOPE that comes alive when you say its name three times is the first film to be given an R rating solely because of its title.
