After the string of R - ratedKingsmanmovies , Argyllehas earned the scummy rating for " strong fury and action mechanism and some potent words . "

Is Argylle’s PG-13 Rating A Good Idea?
Of the seven feature films Vaughn has direct , only two of them have received anything less than an R - rating , includingStardustandX - Men : First Class . It ’s clear from Vaughn ’s filmography that he ’s interested in movies in which he can feature draw of swearing , rude joke , and graphic fury . It ’s interesting , then , that he ’s chosen to disport from this trend forArgylle .
While it ’s unclear why Vaughn prefer for a PG-13 flick instead of an R - betray one , the more approachable rating will likely be honorable intelligence forArgylle ’s loge office prospects . broadly speaking , the PG-13 paygrade is a scented stain for big blockbusters , as it allows room for ripe themes and grittier activity while not shutting out viewers untried than 18 . After the R - ratedThe queen ’s Manended up being a fairly bighearted disappointment financially , Argylleis already poised to fend off a interchangeable boxful office fate because of its valuation alone .
The King ’s Manis the lowest - grossing of theKingsmanmovies , pull in only $ 126 million worldwide . Although the prequel earned mixed critical review , the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its box office can not be discount .
Argylle ’s PG-13 evaluation may be good intelligence for its boxwood office , but it could be worry to those count forward to someKingsman - style action . The firstKingsman , for example , made a fully grown splash due to one particularly graphic action sequence in a church , and it ’s unclear ifArgylle ’s more toned - down action at law will have this same impact , even if it does featureCavill in his most James Bond - esque function .
