Given that the Bond audience is typically the oldest of any major
movie franchise, I don't see that an R-rating would do that much
damage in the US. It might to more harm to the box office in countries
like Britain that have an age-restricted ratings system. LTK's 15
certificate almost certainly hurt its take there, and the 18
certificate that they were threatening had the film not been cut prior
to release would have been the kiss of death. And that, children, is
why Quentin Tarantino should never be let near a Bond film.
