Eclipse gets a PG-13 rating
According to Box Office Mojo, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has gotten an official MPAA rating! Much like its predecessors, Eclipse follows suit with a rating of PG-13. Read below for more details on why it was given this rating:

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse received a PG-13 rating for “intense sequences of action and violence, and some sensuality.” Both Twilight and New Moon were PG-13 as well, but for slightly different, and somewhat telling, reasons: Twilight garnered its rating due to “some violence and a scene of sensuality,” while New Moon earned it for “some violence and action.”
