These R-rated films made it at the box office.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The ten highest grossing R-rated films obviously succeeded commercially, but they vary in quality, with some being well above the others. R-rated films don't always sell well, with only one appearing in the top 100 highest grossing films of all time. This is primarily due to a large demographic of movie-goers being families taking their kids to theaters, hence Disney controlling many of the highest selling movies.

7 It The big-screen adaptation of Stephen King's iconic horror novel It was a huge success, raking in over $700 million, placing it just above Detective Chinatown.

5 The Matrix Reloaded Following up The Matrix is no easy task, as the first film was massively influential to 21st century filmmaking.

The Matrix Reloaded, in particular, has one of the best action sequences in the franchise: the highway chase. The Matrix Reloaded is the fifth highest grossing R-rated film ever, far surpassing its predecessor which was #25.
