Why is it so rare to see a film with an NC-17 rating?

Modern movies are almost all geared towards the under 17 demographic

If more people went to see NC-17 movies, then theaters would show them, and studios would make NC-17 movies. As it is now, theaters wont show them, which means less box office revenue which in turn means studios wont make them.

Because they will have shit box office?
Adult people have outgrown these edgy movies and the kids who would like to see them can't.
Just look how badly R movies do, nc 17 would do even worse, Deadpool has been praised so much because it's an exception to this.

Money.
Less revenue potential.

there is really no point to an NC-17 when theres an R rating. You have to be 17 or older to see an R movie and 18 - one fucking year older to see an NC-17 one.
The MPAA is just retarded.
