Are there any age restrictions for attending certain films?

Carmike Cinemas, Inc. typically adheres to the rating guidelines established by the Motion Picture Association of America, which assigns ratings to films based on their content. These ratings serve as a guide to help parents decide what is appropriate for their children to view. The most common ratings are G for General Audience, PG for Parental Guidance, PG-13 for Parents Strongly Cautioned, R for Restricted, and NC-17 for No One Ages Seventeen and Under Admitted. For films rated R, individuals under the age of seventeen are generally required to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. This age restriction is strictly enforced to ensure that minors do not view content that may be unsuitable for their age. Similarly, NC-17 films are not permitted for anyone under the age of seventeen, regardless of parental supervision. For films rated PG-13, parents are encouraged to provide guidance, although there are no strict age restrictions in place. It is recommended for patrons to check the individual film ratings and content advisories before attending a screening, as this can provide insights into the themes and elements of the film that might influence a viewer's decision.
