Maybe PG and G rated movies have a better post-theater sale rate, both on
video and in other fora (airlines etc.) i definitely get the feeling that
the majority of video sales (outside the "adult" realm, that is) is a
kid-oriented market. since parents & relatives are the buyers, that means
sold videos likely to mostly be G and PG (i.e. the much-vaunted "family"
entertainment). etb
