24. This is the overall annual UK
cinema admissions from 2001-
2013. The highest admissions was
in the 2002, then it started to
decreased until 2006 because
audience started to download films
online. The data started to
increased again after 2006 because
going top a cinema has became a
popular social activity for the
teenagers. But however, it dropped
a little bit in the 2013.
This data shows the problem of
illegally downloading throughout this
decade, people stop going to
cinema because they can now
watch movies without paying
money, but the stats start to grow
again as going to the cinema has
became a social activity. This stats

25. There are 37 horror released in the UK in 2013, not
many which means the competition is not very big in the
UK. This data is useful in order to help us to make our
movie more competitive to win in this race. It shows
horror genre hasn’t died yet as horror movies are still
releasing in the UK.
The most common movie to release in the UK is the
Comedy, second is Drama and third is Documentary.
Horror is at the 6th place.

26. Horror movie is usually at the rating 15 (18 if
necessary), rating 15 films are the second
highest percentage of gross box office in the
UK, it shows the horror movie market is still
alive, Basing on this data, it will be better if
we make a 15 rating movie rather than a 18
rating movie.

27. By comparing these
data: in the top 10 ‘15’
classified films, 2 of
them are horror
movie; in the top 10
‘18’ classified films, 4
of them are horror
movie. Which means
a 18 rating horror
movie could be more
successful than a 15
rating one, this help us
to decide which
classification horror
movie we are going to
produce.
