Back when the
Birds of Prey movie was first announced, reports mentioned that star/producer Margot Robbie and director Cathy Yan were aiming for an R-rating, but Warner Bros. were said to be a little apprehensive.
Once production was underway and details from the
set visits were shared online we appeared to get confirmation that the movie had indeed landed the more adult rating, and now it's been made official.
The Motion Picture Association of America has rated
Birds of Prey (& The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn) R for
"strong violence and language throughout, and some sexual and drug material."
The success of
Joker will obviously have given Warner Bros. more confidence in future R-rated DC Comics projects, but Harley Quinn's popularity with younger teens could mean
Birds of Prey proves to be a far more risky venture for the studio.
