AO certificate for U.S. movies?

I notice that the movie Enter the Void (2009) - IMDb lists a certificate of "AO (new rating)". Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) - IMDb shows "AO (suggestion)". Velma (TV Series 2023– ) - IMDb shows "AO (DLSV, suggestion, new rating, Crude Humor)". As far as I know, AO only applies to video games. Does anyone know why this would be applied to a film? There are 293 films with this certificate US-AO (Sorted by Popularity Ascending) - IMDb. It looks like someone has gone to a lot of trouble to insert their opinion into the certificates for unrated, NC-17 rated, and TV-MA rated films. If so, I recommend that staff do a wipe on it; it's too much to correct manually.

Hi @nick_burfle - The certificate "AO" should only apply to Video Game titles. I have now removed this certificate from all film titles on the site. Cheers!
