Movie Ads to Carry More Rating Data
LOS ANGELES -- Movie promotions will carry more information about ratings next year, it was reported. The Motion Pictures Association of America and the National Association of Theater Owners, both based here, have agreed on a policy that would add brief explanations to the existing ratings, such as "for excessive nudity" or "for cartoon violence."
The policy, which is expected to apply to home video as well, was approved during a NATO board meeting earlier this month. Newspaper ads, billboards and point-of-sale materials will include the new information. "
