Could the release of the 'R'-rated Dead3 boost sales for non-'R'-rated films like Twisters, as underage buy tickets hoping to sneak in?

I understand that fines may apply to theatres if caught, but not sure how well enforced.
Perhaps insignificant compared to the number showing ID and being turned away.

Is there any evidence of this for other R-rated movies - perhaps Deadpool 1 or 2?

I remember A Civil Action got an extra $20 because my friend and I wanted to see The Faculty! {nm} Kevman66 Jul 20, 21:57

It happens but it has no significant effect on box office {nm} Moviesnob Jul 20, 22:26

Most theaters have assigned seatng now and DEAD3 won't have many empty seats on opening weekend. Antibody Jul 21, 06:03
