Last summer some noise was made of action movies dropping from an R-rating to PG-13, or in some cases from PG-13 down to PG (Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver). The biggest example was Live Free or Die Hard, which 20th Century Fox decided to rate at PG-13 in hopes of attracting a more teenage friendly crowd. The result was a gross of more than $380 million. Though it’s nearly impossible to say the reason for the higher gross resulted from the rating, it was the most in the franchise. Now word comes that Halcyon Company are targeting a PG-13 rating for next summer’s Terminator 4.

The return of House (in a new time slot) helped put Fox in first place for the evening among adults 18-49, but a steep decline among total audience from its last newly aired episode (-8.65M viewers/37% and 37% among A18-49) kept the network in second place among households and viewers. To be fair though, that last new episode of House aired out of a fresh installment of American Idol. Even still, compared to the show’s season average up to last night, the series was of by 4.90 million/25% among viewers, 23% among households and 29% among A18-49.
House’s weaker than average performance allowed for Dancing With the Stars (the night’s most-watched program) to lead ABC to a first place finish on the evening among both households and viewers.
CBS meanwhile got good mileage from its slate of comedies and an original episode of “CSI: Miami”, as the network finished in third overall, but a solid second among A18-49 (just a half point off from first place Fox in the demo).
Rounding out the rest of the evening was NBC in a competitive fourth place, and The CW in last place. About The CW, the network can’t be too pleased that One Tree Hill faded by nearly a half million viewers (-420,000/14%) and 14% among adults 18-49, while lead-in Gossip Girl remained flat from the week prior.
