The first OMG film was a critical and commercial success, and it was praised for its message and its humor. The sequel is expected to be just as successful, and it will be interesting to see how the audience reacts to the film’s adult certificate.
Will the ‘A’ certificate affect the box office performance of OMG 2?
It is still too early to say whether the ‘A’ certificate will affect the box office performance of OMG 2. However, it is possible that the film may not appeal to a wider audience due to its adult content.
On the other hand, the film’s target audience is likely to be adults who are interested in social-comedy-drama films. These audiences may be more receptive to the film’s message and its humor, even if it is not suitable for younger viewers.
