Hopefully, Burton will go back to basics with his upcoming Beetlejuice sequel,returning to the Gothic and quirky style that made him a household name. Nolan has successfully attracted blockbuster-sized box office earnings for R-rated films. His latest project, the biopic Oppenheimer,recently became the second highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
