The film is the feature-length directorial debut of MacFarlane, [2] produced by Media Rights Capital and distributed by Universal Pictures. It was released on June 29, 2012, to critical and commercial success, becoming the 12th highest-grossing film of the year, the highest-grossing R-rated film of the year, and the highest-grossing original R-rated comedy of all time. [3][4][5] . On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, it was announced that there are plans for a sequel.

So wikipedia is wrong?

Wikipedia is wrong quite a few times. They're right, you should fact check. And to be specific you said "Highest rated R comedy of all time" which it is not.

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=ted.htm
Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $218,665,740 43.6%
+ Foreign: $283,124,807 56.4%
= Worldwide: $501,790,547

Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $277,322,503 59.3%
+ Foreign: $190,161,409 40.7%
= Worldwide: $467,483,912

http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=hangover2.htm
Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $254,464,305 43.8%
+ Foreign: $327,000,000 56.2%
= Worldwide: $581,464,305

These are the actual numbers for the title. Ted hasn't surpassed the hangover 2.

Seth McFarlane’s directorial debut Ted, the raunchy comedy about a bong-smoking teddy bear starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, has officially broken a box office record.
It is now (sort of) the highest grossing comedy of all time — except not really.
If we’re being technical, it’s actually the highest grossing non-sequel, R-rated comedy of all time… at the worldwide box office. That specific enough for ya?

Interesting. I thought wikipedia fixed that. I remember years ago it wasn't cited as an official source. Can't believe that even today it's still like that.

They have a few different articles on the ted page that says it's the highest grossing ever. With the amount of people who use wikipedia, you'd think the would be more accurate

Regardless, it still did very well gross wise.

E/, no i said highest grossing, not rated.

it doesn't really matter though since wiki is wrong. Looks like it's number 2

Ipad cut out the word grossing, oops. Didn't lock the screen and it spun around, wasn't paying attention.
