The BMI Statistical Yearbook 2014
Gross
The 3 genres that come out on top for the year of 2014 was animation, action and comedy. Animation is top most years as it is such a universal category of films. Any age or gender will enjoy a good animation film. Most children will see a animation at the cinema with a adult or a older guardian This could be parents, grandparents or even teachers with their pupils. They also use synergy a lot as well involving advertisement products with the film like toys, happy meals and trailers on other child friendly films. Action is second on the list. This is because action is an escape for people. You cant do barrel rolls in a car or do backflips while shooting a pistel in slow motion 'in real life'. People go and see action films because they are unable to see what they see in action films anywhere else but on a film. Comedies are usually 15+ and involve adult themes and language making, obviously, more popular with older people. There more entertainment than most other as they provide a story as well as comedy However under 15s also are a target for comedies as they reprisent a sense of childhood and not obeying the rules.
Sci - fi has had 9 releases throughput 2014 and had a total gross of 87.4 million dollars while Horror had 37 releases throughout the year but only produced 57.5 million dollars at the total box office. This could show the sci - fi genre uses quality before quantity while the horror genre uses the opposite of quantity before quality. It may also be because the horror genre is more of an experience than a story driven life work of a director. People do not see horror films often as most are closely relatable to each other making them, after a while, boring however sci-fi films are different universes different storys, different characters every time.
