When looking at Chapter 4 and 15 in the 2013 BFI statistical yearbook i learnt many things including the answers to these questions:

1.      Which 3 genres were most successful at UK box office?
Animation, Action, and Comedy were the 3 genres most successful at UK box office

6.      How many action films were made?

7.      What does this information about genre tell you about film production and film audiences?
What it tells me about the genre is that that action films are more popular than animations as they are for kids whereas action films are for teens or adults which then suggests young adults go to the cinema more than children. It also tells me that because there is a higher amount of action films a lot more production has gone into
