However, considering the controversy that the previous PG-13 outing had raised with fans of the source material, as well as fans of zombie flicks altogether, Paramount could revise their plans and bump the film up to an R rating.
With the previous film grossing $590 million worldwide, during the summer of 2013, the PG-13 rating didn’t hurt the film’s chances at the box office, despite the controversy among horror fans.
More than likely, Paramount is going to want to keep the rating to World War Z 2 in the same ballpark as World War Z. This means we’re expecting a solid PG-13 rating to be bestowed upon this second round of zombie carnage, with the possibility for an “unrated cut” heading to Blu-ray after the film hits home video.
