Since the dawn of the R rating in the 1980s, it’s been a more limited stamp on a film’s box office prospects. There’s a much lower box office ceiling on R-rated movies than there is for those of the PG-13 variety, and thus Hollywood doesn't normally back R-rated ventures with the big budgets that accompany your standard PG-13 franchise-starter. That said, some R-rated films still manage to break out in a big way regardless of budget, striking a chord with audiences that spurs repeat business and strong word of mouth.

‘Borderlands’ Disappoints at Box Office With $8.8 Million Debut – After Critics Called the Film a ‘Calamity’

The Western genre is as old as cinema itself, as early gunslinger films became popular at the very beginning of the 20th century within the silent era. Although the Western took off in earnest in 1939 thanks to the success of John Ford’s masterpiece Stagecoach, it hit its peak in the subsequent decades due to the star appeal of actors like Gary Cooper, Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Burt Lancaster, among others. There was a brief time when the Western genre could be consistently relied upon to be successful at the box office.

Viggo Mortensen Calls Amazon ‘Appalling’ and ‘Shameful’ for Dumping His 2022 Ron Howard Film on Streaming, Says Film Criticism Is ‘Pretty Poor’ These Days

In a genre where it's arguably easier to earn a bad review, horror movies face a different level of criticism, especially from respected critic Roger Ebert. A fan of the genre, Ebert appreciated good horror movies, saying, "They can exorcise our demons." However, Ebert was a vocal opponent of horror movies that inflicted violence and gore without reason, often writing about the reactions of fellow audience members and what it said about their relationship to the acts carried out onscreen. In his lengthy list "Ebert's Most Hated," many of those films include horror movies that earned higher than a one-star rating.
