I also don't think an R rating would hurt the box office might hurt midnight openings since you need an adult but I think parents would still take their kids/teens to it.

I'm not so sure about that. If you think about it, MAYBE JUST MAYBE the girls 15 and above would be able to convince their parents, 14 and under although might plead would probably have a difficult time. Some one, but you can't say that it won't take a substantial drop in the box office if you change the ratings. Because, pushing an "R" rating takes it away from the family friendly aspect or the perceived cleaned up version that is PG-13, although Meyer's version is pretty cleaned up version anyway of the vampire mythos.
