It’s worth noting that _Happy Death Day centers on college kids, and therefore could have been developed for 18+, but that simply wasn’t the vision that writer/director Christopher Landon had for the feature.
I was curious if the movie — which arrived in theaters with a PG-13 — was ever considered for an R-rating, and the executive/producer told me about the particular guideline that his company follows.
I sat down with Jason Blum for the release of the surprising horror-comedy hit Happy Death Day _–which hits Blu-ray next week — and one subject that we touched upon in our conversation was the film’s rating.
