I hope this means more R-Rated movies. Twisters was such a letdown and I can only imagine what it could have been if it wasn't so watered down. The upcoming Beetlejuice sequel will likely suffer the same despite the play getting it right. We need some damn adult entertainment!
Seriously. Kids already watch blood, gore, and sexuality in media on the internet anyway. This PG-13 crap is only there to make executives think they can reach the lowest common denominator for audiences without realizing it can make the story much less interesting for everyone.

My friend and I saw it on Wednesday and it was pretty damn good. There were a bunch of jokes poking fun at Fox and Disney.

Wonder what the list is adjust for inflation.
I think the numbers still stand. The long time adjusted R rated box office winner was The Exorcist which is $1.011 Billion adjusted. Joker beat that with $1.078 so Deadpool and Wolverine is now the clear winner and it still has lots of theatre run to go.
Good info here, although not adjusted numbers

Before the deadpools, it was the matrix 2, and then T2.
