Ratings

In the Thriller genre top 25 Grossing movies (1995-2013)there is 7 movies rated R(18).

These movies are not in the top 10. This is most probably because the audience is restricted to just 18+.

Generally there are more younger audiences going to the cinema rather than an older audience. This supports the table as the top 10 Grossing movies are rated PG 13(12A).

Having Thriller movies rated R(18), restricts the size of the audience therefore restricts ticket sales/money made.

If more Thrillers were rated PG 13(12A) rather than R(18), a larger variety of audiences will watch the movies and will increase the number of tickets sold.
