UK Film Council Summary

I have looked at the UKfilmcouncil statistics and have been able to draw results about different genres.
The most popular genre with the most films made, and biggest amount of revenue made is the Comedy genre making £206.6 million. Following after is the Thriller genre which got the second biggest amount of money £149.0 million. Judging through these results would lead us to believe that comedy is the most popular with the UK and Republic of Ireland, however looking closer, it took 127 Comedies to give it the highest amount of money, but it only took 50 thrillers to be second best. Perhaps if both genres released the same amount of films, the thriller genre would have proven more popular.
The horror genre appears 10th on the list, with 24 releases, showing that it isnt as popular as comedy, Thriller appears 5th with 28 releases, and with around the same amount of releases and a much less amount of money made shows that thrillers are much more popular that horrors.
The romance Genre is much further down the list, showing that a romance film is only carried by its comedy aspects.
