If I was watching a preview for a film and at the end the producer or someone of the like said, "we refuse to allow the MPAA to rate this movie, see it and make up your own mind. We feel it's appropriate for X age and older. We hope you enjoy the film" I would be more likely to see the film.
I'm sure that the MPAA carries some weight though and it's probably like David vs. Goliath.

I will definitely be more likely to see a film that is not associated with the MPAA. :)

You'll be going out of your way to see said film, since nearly every commercial theater in the US won't show it. This isn't an issue when you're taking something on tour to schools, but the average consumer won't see something that isn't in their local theater.

There are other avenues besides the local commercial theater for the producers to release their films now. They don't necessarily have to distribute it by traditional means. If they are going to buck the trend, buck the trend.

They are not the primary viewing options now, but they are becoming more and more so by the day. I don't recall the last time I went out to watch a movie or flip on the the television outside of watching a sporting event.

Well there you go. Release it to Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, Hulu, etc. etc.
