My 12 yr old autistic son who went to see the Star Trek beyond movie which is rated PG-13 saw this movie trailer and is now freaking the crap out. I want to sue the stupid company.
So are they doing this just to keep teenagers able to go to this movie? Such bs I mean why don't they show this movie trailer before other horror movies instead of the ones that don't have anything scary like Star Trek. Like wtf Hollywood??????
um, listen, k?
if u have a son that does things like freak out then u shouldnt take him to the movies at all, alright?
u CANNOT disrupt others just because of ur own misfortune.
They don't treat horror movies differently by slapping an R rating on it just because it's a horror movie...

shareComplain to the movie theater management. The studio has little or nothing to do with this. (Star Trek is Paramount and Ouija is Universal, so there's no connection.) The movie theater decides which trailers play on which programs, and they have no incentive to pay attention to the content of the films being advertised unless patrons raise a fuss when there's a mismatch.

Actually they do. The trailers still have to be approved, as to what specified audiences they can play too. If the main feature is PG13, a trailer is classified to screen with the appropriate audience, ie) a trailer that may have content at PG13 level. Some trailers are restricted to only screen with R rated films and the same goes for many other countries to match their own classification system. If the main feature film though is say PG13 and a dramatic period piece, I doubt they would screen a PG13 approved trailer like Ouija to go along with it. Some chains might, if they are desperate to plug a film though.

I am amazed that very few people really understood the problem. Contact the theater and request what previews are being shown prior to any movie, they will tell you and you can decide if they are appropriate for your child or adult. You may also call and ask about sensory friendly showtimes. Many theaters offer showtimes designed for children and adults who process information differently.
sharewell many horror movies are not rated R nowadays unless they are blood and guts horror movies.. these ghost horror movies are usually rated pg 13. And to be honest you said your son is 12 well these movies are PG13 i know its only a year but hes not the age yet anyways to be seeing them. Even if you had some kinda case to sue them it would just get thrown out because hes not 13.
But I saw tons of horror movies when I was young and I was scared for like that night or maybe the next night.. I'm sure your son will get over it within a couple days and forget about it. But I do agree that they should play previews that are kinda like the movie you are going to see.. Like horror movies should have horror previews and sci fi should have sci fi and fantasy...etc. But on the other hand I kind of agree with the other posters saying that a lot of Star Trek fans are older like in their 30s and up.

If that was always the case, then film-makers and exhibitors would have a hard time promoting the films they need people to come and see. There mightn't be enough genre appropriate trailers to advertise at the time. Even if audiences aren't interested in the films being advertised, they can still generate word of mouth about it.
It is about marketing and the almighty dollar. Theater chains are not going pander to others insecurities, and if the trailer has been approved to show with a certain classified film, then there can be really no valid legal recourse. Common sense by the cinemas also needs to be adhered too when trailering, however, in this case, I don't see it as a big deal.

well, is the problem that he is 12 yrs old, or autistic, which is causing him to freak out. You made a point of saying he's autistic. That pg-13 may mean something.
