The Beloit Daily News has an interesting piece that profiles the box office grosses of family-friendly fare, versus the bloodier “adult” films that have been released in the last few years. “Five of 2004’s top-10 moneymakers were rated PG, which means they were open to all audiences, among them Shrek 2, The Incredibles and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Out of the top 25, only four carried R ratings, which prohibit those younger than 17 from attending unless accompanied by an adult.”
