International Treasure: R-Rated Movies Don’t Sell Overseas

by Ted Baehr

A new three-year study of the Top 25 movies released in 2006-2008 earning the most money overseas shows that international moviegoers prefer clean movies with strong or very strong Christian, moral and/or redemptive content and values.
