The documentary about the MPAA was eye opening, but not surprising. When I met Adam Green, I told him I was damn lucky to see Hatchet 2 in Chicago when it actually got released with NC 17 rating nationally. It was taken out of theatres within a week and not sure how many, if any, mainstream movies have been given a wide release once given that rating of shame.

Article from 2019, but point is the same. Australian article, hence the M reference, but if I was a parent, I would be more inclined to a PG. G does carry that stigma of being limited in what comedy it can offer to an adult.
“The Toy Story movies have been G-rated but there’s no downside for Pixar making the likes of The Incredibles, Inside Out and Finding Dory PG. The higher rating suggests more sophisticated themes and jokes that will likely appeal to the parents who will be taking their kids. For Hollywood studios generally, the sweet spot for bigger family box office is PG to M, which indicates content that will play to just about everyone bar under-fives.”

Reply to We Need To Talk About Frank Darabont by ParttimeParty99
From May 2021 article
The filmmaker was recently a guest on Post Mortem with Mick Garris and Darabont was asked if he has "thrown up his hands" and given up on directing and he revealed that his time is better spent with his family and friends rather than behind the camera:
"To a degree, yeah. I can't tell you how many times I burned out. I was a workaholic machine for thirty years. I just thought, I don't want however much time I have left, I don't want the next 20 years to go by. Nobody ever laid on their death bed and said, 'Gee, I wish I had had some more deadlines."
