Animation was the most popular genre of film in the UK , taking 21.% of box office on its own. Leaving Action and Comedy in second and third place with 18.7 and 13.7 %.
Here is a screenshot of he table uploaded to the BFI statistics.
On the opposite end of the scale we have;
the war genre, scraping the bottom in with <0.1 %
documentary genre second to last with only 0.9 %
and romance genre just above with 1.2 %
Although it is not the most successful genre, Comedy still had the most amount of film releases Taking up more than 20% of the film releases with 153 films.
Whereas by the first table shown to you , you can see that there were oly 3 animation films made , and an 47 action films made. Although he animation genre had the least amount of films made out of the top 3 , it still managed to be the most popular genre that year with the most amount of sales.
Given that animation is the least produced it could coyote to us that animation take the longest to produce or that it is the most expensive. But given that most of animations target audience is children They manage to get sales as parents bring their child (or multiple children depending on the family) to see these film. Therefore these films manage to get more sales and multiple sales as kids often want to see these films more than once and or have siblings which raises amount of tickets sold.
