Director Matthew Vaughn expressed surprise at the PG-13 rating for his film "Argylle," revealing that he had to make cuts to avoid an R rating, including removing headshots. Vaughn questioned the rating system's distinction between shooting someone in the chest versus the head, given his experience with violent action movies, but ultimately prioritized maintaining the film's intended tone over the rating.
"Five Nights at Freddy's," a horror movie based on the popular video game series, dominated the Halloween box office with an estimated $78 million in domestic theaters over the weekend. The film's success can be attributed to its release during the spooky season, a built-in younger audience from the game, and a PG-13 rating that made it accessible to parents and children. Despite mixed reviews, the movie received a strong A-minus rating from audiences and became the third-biggest domestic opening weekend for a horror movie. It also surpassed Blumhouse's previous record for the biggest opening. Additionally, the film premiered on NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock, simultaneously and is expected to have the platform's biggest-ever opening.
