In this summer movie season update, Kim and John talk about how PG-13 films that were once the reliable breadwinners at the box office are losing out to PG and G-Rated films this summer.

Meanwhile, adult fare movies like Robin Hood, Prince of Persia and the new Knight & Day -- which isn't tracking well -- are getting left in the dust.
