Here are the new MPAA ratings from BULLETIN NO: 2066.

Below you will notice a rating for Watchmen: Director&#039;s Cut. The MPAA lists this as a Warner Home Video release, so it appears the possibility of it making its way to theaters is unlikely.

9
Rated PG-13 For violence and scary images.
Release Date: September 9, 2009


Albino Farm

How about nailing that top slot? People love Dwayne Johnson just as much as I expected, a rare occurrence lately. What&#039;s that? Watchmen tanked and you&#039;re hopping mad? Well then&#8230; we better get into it.

#1 movie predicted correctly: 1 Weeks in a Row

1. Race to Witch Mountain
Gonna be tough at the top. Theoretically three films could win, and it should end up being the second worst weekend of the year. We&#039;ve got the kid&#039;s film, the holdover from last weekend, and the horror. I&#039;m going with the kids. But [...]]]></description>

Wow. That&#039;s a beating for Watchmen. $55m would be a nice opening&#8230; if the movie wasn&#039;t sporting a $200m budget (I&#039;m guessing here but it sounds about right). The other crazy story was how little everything else made. Let&#039;s get into this one.
