The number of underage teenagers who were able to purchase movie tickets for rated R movies is at an all time low.
A new statistic released by the Federal Trade Commission revealed that only 24 percent of underage teenagers were able to purchase tickets to view rated R movies.
Theaters throughout New York City do not have to worry about preventing teenagers from purchasing tickets for the film titled, ‘Blue is the Warmest Color.’
This film is rated NC-17, which means teenagers under the age of 17 are not permitted to purchase tickets to watch the film.
The IFC Center announced that teenagers are permitted to purchase their own tickets to watch this film, even though the film is rated NC-17.
Many New Yorkers are confused by the IFC Center’s decision.
