It's been no secret that good family films always make a higher profit at the Box Office than the brainless trash playing on other screens. Michael Medved once demonstrated how much more these films make, and it really does leave you scratching your head, wondering why they don't make more of them.

Or why some studio doesn't spring up and make ONLY those kinds of movies.

At this point it’s doctrine that Hollywood doesn’t make family movies, but the truth is they’re making more and more. People are just repeating an old meme. Of the 10 movies that are in wide release (over 1000 theaters) right now (blockbuster season) 1 is R rated, the rest are PG-13 or less. And that R rated movie is tied for the lowest production budget of that 10 (production budget is a good way to measure how much money they thought the movie would make, they try not to spend a lot to make a little). A quick glance at the chart shows Hollywood is making family friendly movies.
