How old do you have to be to by a pg rated movie ticket How old do you have to be to buy a movie theater ticket that's rated PG?

Answer 1

The only age restrictions for seeing movies in the U.S. are for R and NC-17 movies. If you're under 17, you need a parent or guardian to see an R-rated movie. NC-17 means no one under 17 admitted, even if they have a parent or guardian with them.

There are no age restrictions for G, PG, and PG-13 movies. PG and PG-13 mean parental guidance suggested, and parental guidance strongly suggested, respectively. They do NOT mean parental guidance mandatory.

So, you can see a G, PG, or PG-13 movie alone at whatever age your parents feel comfortable with. Responsible parents don't usually let their 10 year-old kids go to the movies by themselves, anyway.
