The UK Film Council has released its annual statistical yearbook in fully digital format. For the first time, you can access data on the UK film industry quickly and easily, using their searchable website.
Despite the financial crisis, 2009 was a bumper year for UK cinemas, with a record box office of £944m and one of the best admissions figures since 1971 (174 million). British films took a 7% share of the global market, and independent UK films took a record 8.2% share of the domestic market.
We've stripped out some of the more interesting datasets and compiled them into one spreadsheet.
Want to know the highest grossing film at the UK box office last year? How UK films performed worldwide? Which is the most popular film genre in the UK? Or how cinema admissions have fluctuated over the past 75 years? This is the place to come.
