If you see a lot of movies, you're probably familiar with the green screen before previews that says "This preview has been approved for all audiences". A red band trailer would have a red screen that says "This preview has been approved for RESTRICTED audiences".

A red band trailer is the equivalent of an R rated movie. It means the content is intended for a more mature audience. And red band trailers should NEVER be played on anything but R or NC-17 rated movies.

Generally speaking, a red band trailer might have more violence, harsher language, drug use, and maybe even some mild nudity.

Answer 2

You will rarely find a Red Band Trailer in theaters. A Red Band trailer is rated "R"- Restricted.

Answer 3

A "red band" trailer means that it can only run in front of R-rated movies. These previews usually contain clips from the film that contain harder-edged material.

A "green band" trailer has been approved for all audiences to see and can run in front of anything.
