“A lot of people think, ‘What’s the big deal if it’s NC-17, the kids under 17 can’t see it,’ but that’s not true,” Ryan recently explained. “What it really means is it can’t play in a major theater chain and you can’t have ads for the film on television.”
But now with an R rating, none of that is a problem and more of his fans can see the film! And Black Swan just got some more competition!
