Task 3: BFI Statistical Yearbook 2014 Analysis

As taken from the BFI Statistical Yearbook of 2014, there were more thrillers than horrors released in the year of 2013. Although, Horrors made up for a bigger % of total box office than Thrillers. This meant that even though less were released, they were more profitable and appealed more to audiences. However, since horrors don't apply to all audiences, genres that did brought in more profit. These genres are: Animation, Action, and Comedy. These three made up for about 44% of the total box office. This is because most Horrors are often rated to audiences over the age of 15, while the 3 dominating genres generally apply to all audiences.
