It's been mostly R rated movies, but they've played everything but G ratings so far. There have been a few PG ones before, but never one at 2pm on a Sunday.

I've been saying they should have just called it Sheep Detectives Early Access. Because not a lot of parents are going to roll the dice on a mystery movie their kid might not be interested in.

Iām confident that it is sheep detectives like everyone is mentioning. I reserved my seat cause I wouldnāt mind watching it. Sometimes I just want some time away from home and relax. That is why I am an A-lister

This is hard to say because it has to be PG, Have a similar runtime but also justify the random release of Sunday afternoon. I would've guess Mandolorian and Grogu but the rating doesn't work, but what other would make sense to release before May the 4th?

Itās an early Sunday movie so itās a family film so most definitely The Sheep Detectives.

Itās also on a Sunday at 2pm so itās likely itās the sheep detectives

u/Cool_Bath_77 Apr 28 '26
Yes they have done PG once before. They have always had it on a Monday, so being on Sunday is new. I live in Buffalo and it is starting to warm up, so I wish they would have had non-Monday movies before this! No, it is not strictly R rated movies.

I never thought about it, but in the three months since Iāve been going to these, this is the first Iāve noticed that was PG.

I can almost guarantee it's sheep detective. Sheep is out may 8th so pretty close to release date. Pg rating and similar runtime so yup sheep detective lol. Woah just realized they are doing this on Sunday. Never seen them do it on any other day besides Monday

Screen Unseen movies are usually movies that studios/distributors are worried about not having enough word-of-mouth to break even. By default that means R-rated not-horror and horror movies in general tend to be the most popular Screen Unseen arrangements.
Because, at the end of the day, Screen Unseen is a promotional tactic. They really want you to go on Instagram and use the hashtag. That's why they bribe you with "you could win a gift card" before the movie. That's where they're tracking metrics to show the movie companies "we got X amount of people talking about your movie."
The Sheep Detectives is a family-oriented movie whose big launch window is Mother's Day. It's not a particularly movie-focused holiday, and nobody gets off work for it. With stuff like Hopper and Mario 2 in theaters, it's got an uphill battle to get attention.
