Hollywood does not make that much money from R-rated films. It’s just their culture.
--
Not one R-rated movie has made a top ten gross since 1995.
According to Numbers.com, a movie statistics website, the movies taking top dollar gross from 1995 to 2007 are PG-13 movies with a whopping $48.55 billion (yes, that is with a B) made from 1,247 movies filmed since 1995. R-rated films come next with a cumalative $34.1 billion made on 2,321 movies (that's an average of $14.7 million for each movie). Next in line are PG movies with 638 films grossing $19.9 billion and finally 207 G-rated films grossing $6.35 billion or average of $30.7 million each. G-rated films grossed more than twice per film what an R-rated film grossed. Does that make sense to you?
Doing a little math, the R-rated movies grossed 30% less than the others, yet more of them were filmed. Not one of them made it into the top ten grossing slots. From 1995 to 2007, eight PG-13 films, four PG films and one G (Finding Nemo) made the number 1 slot for gross dollars culled.

CBAONLINE.ORG
Black Americans are more likely than most others to read the Bible regularlyly and to view it as the Word of God, according to a new Pew Research Center survey report. It found that more than half of black people in the U.S. (54 percent)–both Christian and non-Christian–said they read the Bible or...

Thanks. Those are interesting and enlightening research statistics, Denyse - in some measure encouraging and concerning at the same time. The full report is really quite detailed. ~~+~~
