How do movies get rated?

749 views

I’m watching Monday Night Football and now seen two movie trailers that looked like Rated R, but both turned out to be PG-13. So how does the rating system work? Checklists? Focus group gut checks? This is probably easy to google but I’d like to have it eli5.

Answer. There is literally a secret group that watches unreleased movies and subjectively rates them on unknown criteria. If the studio doesn’t like the rating. They can make a different cut of the movie and resubmit.
