28 Per Cent of I960 Films Were Classified For Adults in 'Green Sheet' Breakdown Shows
Of 191 films classified in the Motion Picture Ass'n.'s Green Sheet in 1960, 54 or 28 per cent were designated adult pictures, a breakdown of the Green Sheet ratings by the Theatre Owners of America's current Bulletin discloses.
The largest category of Green Sheet ratings was "Mature Young People or Young People," with 102 films so classified, equivalent to 53V2 per cent of the total.
This caused the TOA Bulletin to observe that "while the incidence of 'Adult' films is high, teen agers who form the bulk of our audiences, can see three out of every four films turned out by Hollywood."
There were only 30 of the 1960 releases classified by the Green Sheet as "Family" pictures, according to TOA, and only five films, or 3 per cent of the total, were rated okay for children unaccompanied by adults:.
TO A Warns
( Continued from page 1 ) ACE Productions company, whose organization is expected to be completed shortly after the first of the year.
The TOA Bulletin says that 10 companies will have released only 226 films by the end of this year, of which 63 were of foreign origin. The 1959 total was 224 pictures, with only 33 originating abroad.
It says "The net figure is 163 American-made films released in 1960; 191 in 1959. This is to be compared with 299 films (of which only a handful were of foreign origin) in 1958, and 425 in 1950."
"Of little more encouragement," it continues, "are the Hollywood production figures— the number of pictures put before the cameras by the major studios. These are an indicator of what to expect in the year ahead. Total 192 to 191
"In 1958 Hollywood put 192 pictures before the cameras, and in 1959 we had 191 films released (this excludes 33 films made by foreign companies and subsequently acquired by the majors). In 1959 Hollywood put 175 pictures before the cameras; we got 163 of them on our screens this year.
"In 1960 it appears as though we'll have 157, of which at this date 143 have either been completed or are underway. The remaining 14 are scheduled to start before the end of the year. By any count, at least, we'll have less pictures made in 1960 than in 1959, which can only mean that our present majors will give us less U.S.-made films in 1961 than in
1960. "
For January and February of
1961, the TOA Bulletin finds the 10 companies scheduling only 31 pictures for release. The companies included in the report are Allied Artists, American International Pictures, Disney Productions, Columbia, Continental Distributing, MGM, 20th Century-Fox, United Artists, Universal and Warner Bros.
