In Progress

Can someone please add Papua New Guinea classification certificates to IMDB?

Hi,

I signed up to add classifications (i.e ratings) for films and I noticed that Papua New Guinea is not a country on the list. Can we please add it as soon as possible? I intend to regularly contribute (i.e every week) and add some for Papua New Guinea so this would really help.

Papua New Guinea classifies films like this:

  • G
  • PGR
  • MA
  • R
  • Banned

Please do this as soon as you can.

Thanks!

Jeff: In order to support adding these certificates, can you provide a link to PNG's classification board website, if there is one?

@gromit82​ I don’t think there is one. However, the website for PNG’s only cinema, Paradise Cinema in Port Moresby, has movie classifications on the site:

So basically here are some examples of films currently in cinemas with the classification in Papua New Guinea and (for comparison) Australia:

  • G - nothing in cinemas yet
  • PGR - Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (PG in Australia), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (M in Australia)
  • MA - Avatar: The Way of Water (M in Australia)
  • R - I Wanna Dance with Somebody (M in Australia)

Papua New Guinean ratings are often a bit higher than those in countries like Australia or New Zealand as the country is very Christian.

Going back in the Wayback Machine, here are some more classifications:

  • G - Combat WombatDreambuilders, Maya the Bee 3: Golden OrbTurning Red
  • PGR - Death on the NileDragon Rider, Earwig and the WitchElvisEncantoEternalsGreenlandHonest Thief, Jiang Ziya: Legend of DeificationJurassic World: DominionLightyearMarry MeMinions: Rise of GruMonster HunterSoulThe Croods: A New Age, The BatmanThe Desperate HourThe MarksmanThe RescueThe War with GrandpaThe WitchesTop Gun: MaverickWonder Woman 1984Tom & JerryUncharted
  • MA - Antim: The Final TruthA Writer’s OdysseyEndgame (not the Avengers movie), Happiest SeasonThe Craft: LegacyThe Little ThingsWrong Turn 2021
  • R - FreakyHouse of Gucci, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

Anyway, can someone please add PNG classifications to the site soon? Thanks!

Are you sure it hasn’t been forgotten about? I posted this back in January, it’s now July. Could you please add it as soon as possible?

Thanks!

I requested this a while ago (https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/can-someone-please-add-papua-new-guinea-classification-certificates-to-imdb/63a646058a78b24108716815?commentId=63ae53519bb80c1cea25d2e9&replyId=63d686b26cf9c9747c4c8780) and still have no response. Can someone from the IMDB team please add it ASAP? For info on the classifications, see the post linked above.

Thanks!
