"Wings" -- newly restored as part of Par's 100th anniversary this year -- will screen exclusively at locations featuring Cinemark XD Extreme Digital Cinema auditoriums. The pic will expand to 50 additional Cinemark locations two weeks later. "Casablanca" received a PG rating when MGM re-launched the 1942 pic theatrically 50 years later. But not all unrated classics are submitted to the MPAA for rating. In 2010, Rialto Pictures re-released Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 "Breathless" unrated; it did the same with "Brighton Rock" and "Z" in 2009. The reason why Rialto skipped the ratings board is a simple one: It wasn't worth the hassle. Eric Di Bernardo, national sales director for Rialto, said most audiences who see these pics know what they're getting into. What's more, Rialto isn't a member of the MPAA, unlike Paramount. Prior to receiving its PG-13 rating, Par released "Wings" in January in a remastered high-def version. The studio also screened it unrated at museums and non-profit institutions, including the Academy and New York's Film Forum.
