My family and I went to see The Hunger Games yesterday, Sunday, January 12, 2014. As parents, we made sure the movie would be appropriate for our 8 year old and 11 year old. After reading the books and checking the parental guidelines on IMDB, we decided the 11 year old Emma could see the movie, but the 8 year old Brynn could not. We got to the movie in time to see the last preview which was rated for all audiences for 22 Jump street.

Have you seen this preview? The theater was full of children under the age of 13 who approved their children seeing the Hunger Games. They did not approve them to see this inappropriate preview! The amount of foul language, crotch grabbing, *** and *** talk, drugs and alcohol scenes in this one clip was horrific and...... rated for all audiences!!! I am pissed! Way to go Regal Cinemas for putting that right before The Hunger Games in a theater full of children.

Monetary Loss: $36.

Location: Medina, Ohio

Its a preview you pansy get over it and stop cuddling an 8yr old boy like he has never heard a curse word before. You wanna turn him into an introvert do it on your own time and dime not everyone else's.

Wish I had read this before going to see Mockingjay 2 tonight with my teenagers. The pre-movie trailers for Zoolander 2 and How To Be Single were almost worth leaving before the show started.

Predatory advertising is not what we are paying for when we go the movies. What I approve for my children is up to me- and this is not it. Shame on Regal for luring us in with movies targeted for young audiences and bombarding us with trailers that are not!

The Hunger Games' entire sex scene is a closed-mouth kiss; How To Be Single doesn't have anything closed! We'd rather wait and watch our movies online.

Studios pay for trailer placement on given films, and theatres are required to play the lists exactly. Generally speaking, a film may show previews of other films below its rating, equal to its rating, and one higher.

Therefore, a G film could show PG, a PG film could show PG-13, and a PG-13 film, which The Hunger Games is, could show R.

Besides, like another commenter said, you took your kids to a film set in a dystopian future where an entire district has been apparently bombed out of existence for rebelling against the Capitol and where 24 kids are still forced to kill each other every year because of what happened 74 years in the past. Think about that for a moment.

...Uhm I'm pretty sure there can be crotch grabbing, drugs and language in PG-13 movies and all previews for PG-13 movies and under have to be green band so... It's more like you being angry over a problem you caused.

So you took your 11 year old to a movie about kids killing each other in a dual for survival and then you saw this preview.. Nevermind
