The Showbox Theater, in accordance with MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) guidelines, strictly enforces the movie ratings system.

Rated R Policy
Movie goers must be at least 17 years of age or older to purchase tickets to a rated “R” film. Any guest that appears under age will be required to show ID for admittance into the theater. No refunds or exchanges will be issued for any tickets purchased by under age individuals.
The Showbox requires that a Parent or adult guardian (aged 21 or older) purchase tickets and accompany any guest under 17 years of age into the auditorium of a rated “R” film and must accompany them throughout the movie. Additionally, children under the age of 6 will not be admitted to a rated “R” film.
No one under the age of 16 will be permitted into a movie without a paying adult (aged 21 or older) after 5:00PM.
Photo ID required

Ushers or door checkers are authorized to verify IDs before entrance to R rated films. Internet or kiosk ticket purchases for R rated films may be checked at the theater; please be prepared with photo ID as R rated film policies apply to internet/kiosk purchases as well. Management reserves the right to refuse entry for those without proof of age for accompanying R rated tickets.
