Masked vigilante Deadpool, played by actor Ryan Reynolds, poses with his hands over his mouth in mock surprise in 2016’s ‘Deadpool.’
Since the dawn of the R rating in the 1980s, it’s been a more limited stamp on a film’s box office prospects. There’s a much lower box office ceiling on R-rated movies than there is for those of the PG-13 variety, and thus Hollywood doesn't normally back R-rated ventures with the big budgets that accompany your standard PG-13 franchise-starter.
19 'Saving Private Ryan' Worldwide gross: $485,035,085 Steven Spielberg’s ode to World War II veterans, Saving Private Ryan, famously lost the Best Picture Oscar in a close call, but the film was a bona fide box office smash right in the heart of the summer movie season.
17 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' Worldwide gross: $515,361,524 Director James Cameron has made two of the greatest sequels in history, and while Aliens performed decently at the box office, Terminator 2: Judgment Day was an event film of the highest order in the 1990s.
The Revenant hits the ground running with a fairly stunning opening sequence, and then becomes something a little more intimate and even psychological, telling a story about survival and a desperate quest for revenge. It’s the kind of film you’d be tempted to call “not for everyone,” but it was apparently a film for many people, going by its earnings and later success at the Oscars.
Release Date December 25, 2014 Director Clint Eastwood Cast Bradley Cooper , Sienna Miller , E.R. Ruiz , Luke Grimes , Jake McDorman , Max Charles Runtime 132 12 'Ted' Worldwide gross: $556,016,627 Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane stepped into the feature realm with a raunchy comedy about a talking bear named Ted, and audiences - especially internationally - turned out in droves.
The Hangover Part II is very much a step down from the first, having a similar premise but taking things to darker and more uncomfortable areas. It crosses lines in ways that aren't as funny as the instances of line-crossing were in the first movie, and the money suggests this second film soured The Hangover overall in the eyes of many, owing to that less impressive gross for the third film.
Gibson had directed a violent film set in historical times before, with Braveheart, which found more critical and awards success upon its release, but didn't touch The Passion of the Christ when it came to the box office. This 2004 movie remains a challenging and oftentimes nauseating watch, but supporters of the film would argue that it's staying true to the brutality of the story, and perhaps even that the violence drives home Jesus Christ's sacrifice even more.
It also ended up being the first part of a duology, with the second chapter generally not being considered as good . Still, it's good to see horror doing well alongside comedies and other non-action movies, and it's also positive to see enthusiasm for a work of horror that's not PG-13.*Availability in US
As for the story? Deadpool is pretty slim in that regard, focusing more on delivering gruesome action scenes, crude humor, and plenty of instances of ridiculing superhero movie tropes and conventions. It was a working formula that kicked off a series, and the success of later R-rated superhero movies likely have Deadpool to thank, in one way or another, for showing that they could be released theatrically to great success.
