This table shows every genres number of releases, the percentage of all releases, cross box office (£million), the percentage of total box office and the performing title. The main conclusion we can get from the table is that the comedy genre was the most popular in terms of the number of releases in 2013 (in the UK and Republic of Ireland) with 153 but only produced 158.2 million. Whereas animation only released 33 that year and managed to make 246.6 million, the top performing title being 'Despicable Me 2'. This shows that the animation genre is actually more popular even though less of the films were created.
This is also shown in the horror and thriller genre where 64 thrillers were made with a profit of 29.1 million and horror made 37 and 57.5 million was made, which shows how horror is more profitable.
The second table is showing each genres, number of releases in 2014, the avaerage number of sites at widest point of release (so at how many different places it was shown) and at the gross box office(£ million). It also shows the total of all of these, with there being 698 movies released and a profit of 1,153.7 million. Concluding from the table the comedy genre had the most releases in 2013 with 153 and was shown in 102 different sites and made a profit of 158.2 million, however this table shows how the number of releases does not mean it will shown in the most places or that it will be the most profitable as, again, animation only released 33 movies that year and earned 246.6 million and was shown in 273 different places. However Sci-fi was the genre that was shown in the most places with 422 even though only 9 western movies were released that year with a profit of 87.4 million.
This table is representing the performance of each genre in 2013. The most successful money wise being animation with a total of 246.6 million out the 1.153.7 million made that year and had 27,383 averaged box office per site and a total of 9,004 sites, however animation did not have to highest numbers when it came to their average box office per site, that was the adventure genre which only beat them by just under 1.5 thousand although it only had 2,004 sites.
For thriller and horror it shows how horror did better even though it has less total sites than thriller, by 300
Table 4.4 represents UK films released in the UK and Republic of Ireland in 2013. It shows how each genre did in the number of releases it had, the percentage of the releases, the gross box office (£ million), the percentage of total box office and the performing title. It shows how action was the most popular genre of 2013 of UK films with Fast & Furious 6 being the most successful and earning 39% of the genres total of 64.1 million. The worst UK genre based film was Drama which only earned 1.3 million (only 0.5% of the total box office makings.)
Thriller and horror shows again how horror did better even though thriller released 10 more movies that year but only got 4.1 million compared to horrors 14.8 with the most popular horror movie being 'World War Z'.
Table 4.5 is showing the UK independent film genres released in the UK and Republic of Ireland and how well they did in the box office compared to how many releases they had in 2013. The table shows how documentary's was the biggest UK genre release with 31 films where as the adventure genre only had 1. However documentary's was not the best performing genre as comedy ended up earning the most money even with it only releasing 24 movies or even Biopic which had only 6 releases in 2013 and managed to earn almost 22 million, only 6.2 million under comedy which released 4 times the amount of movies.
With the thriller and horror genres we can see that horror had 6 releases and earnt 0.2 million whereas thiller released 14 and got a total of 2.1 million.
Figure 4.1 shows how many of each genre was released in three different categories, all films, UK films and UK independent films and how all these did when it comes the the proportion of box office. It shows how UK independent films got quite a big percentage of the box office with comedy films getting 28.1% of all UK independent films, where as only 14.8 of all UK films. An even bigger is shown with the Biopic genre where the independent films had 21.9% of all the independent films percentage of box office, however UK films only got 6.6% and all films had 3.5%.
Figure 4.2 is showing the proportion of releases by genres of three different categories, again, all films, UK films and independent UK films. So it shows how the adventure genre had very little releases in all of the categories with only 0.8% UK independent films being adventure. Whereas documentary is 25.2% of all documentary releases
