Another seller of edited movies has decided to shut their doors and go out of business. In this case, it was online seller of DVDs named CleanplayDVDS.
As the receipts from the box office come rolling in this summer, family oriented movies, or those films that have no need to have the profanity, vulgarity, nudity, and explicit violence in order to tell an engaging story are predicted to be big winners again. R Rated Movies Receive Critical Acclaim
Of course, critical acclaim can also effect box office receipts and the profitability of a movie, and several R rated films scored big gains by being very well reviewed and getting attention in the awards ceremonies, including the Golden Globes and, of course, the Oscars.
Nominations for best picture for 2010 included R rated movies, such as, The Fighter, Black Swan, and the eventual winner The King’s Speech. This comes behind last year’s surprise winner Hurt Locker…. Another R-Rated Film.
After well publicized roes between edited movie sellers and the directors guild, the studios have taken a big step towards a more moderate, less political, and more capitalistic approach — They decided to release the Academy Award winner, The King’s Speech, in edited form alongside the original version.
Edited versions of the film played in some theaters and it is yet to be verified, but Lion’s Gate will reportedly be releasing an edited version of the DVD. This is important, because, the movie, while it has interesting historical ramifications would be difficult to show in many school settings due to parental sensitivity over profanity which is on pretty bald display in one scene in particular where the would-be King is asked to use profanity to break out of his stuttering habit by his speech therapist.
Whether or not this effects the availability of other titles in edited formats remains to be seen.
