The Jared Leto-led “Suicide Squad” will not follow in the R-rated footsteps of Ryan Reynolds‘ “Deadpool”: The upcoming Warner Bros. film has officially landed a PG-13 rating from the MPAA. The Motion Picture Association of America assigned it the rating for “sequences of violence and action throughout, disturbing behavior, suggestive content and language.” Generally speaking, box office opportunities are far greater for films more inclusive of the general public, though “Deadpool’s” “R” didn’t seem to hurt it too much. Still, studios highly prefer the “PG-13” — especially for comic book films, which tend to skew younger. Also »
