^This is the Top 21 in World-Wide box office.

now, when I look at this, 3 things come to my mind:

1. Most of those flicks are really new movies (not older than 5 years)
2. Most of those flicks are (if not all?!! !!!) franchises, or future franchises (by that I mean movies with at least one sequel, if not many more)
3. Most of those flicks are PG-13 or lower rated


Honestly, I gotta give Eminem mad props for makin a Rated R, no-sequel flick.

Eddie G.:
This is disappointing, and the reason PG-13 movies sell so much now is because today's little kids are a bunch of bitches who have been taught by their parents that R rated movies are bad.  Fuck this, I'm not gonna see this movie now.  And I bet it will sell less tickets than it would if it was rated R, because the majority of Alien/Predator fans are over 17.  By doing this, tey might as well have not used the Alien and Predator name, because they are losing their total fan base anyways.

Javier:
You cant take most of those Box Office numbers serious.  Ticket prices are more expensive today then they were 30 years ago.  Look at Jaws, Dr. Zhivago, Exorcist, Ben-Hur and so on...all of these movies were exremely popular at the time.  Lets take a look at Ben-Hur which was released in 1959....it sold 74 million.  If it was released in 2004....it would have sold 704million.  So basically that box office all time is BS. 


MPAA and some movie producers are gay.   So fuck that shit,  sometimes they just kill movies.  For example. the japanese kill bill version is more violent than the one that was released here in the States.  Stupid MPAA and movie producers.

13 year olds watch pg13 movies because they cant buy a ticket to see a rated R movie not because they are afraid of them.  Some movie theaters got strict too.  I had gotten tickets to American Wedding and i was 17 but didnt have an ID at the time...i showed my ticket and they still didnt let me in to see the movie...i had to sneak in to the movie that i had tickets to.  That was some fucking bullshit.  so it sells alot cuz alot of teens can actually get in without sneaking in or telling other people to buy their tix.  look at scary movie 1 and 2 both rated R, then Scary MOvie 3 came out it was rated pg 13 and it sold way more opening weekend than both 1 and 2.  Its jsut stupid.  Filmmakers should put their foot down.
