Statistical Analysis of Film

From this table we are able to see that in the year 2013 64 thriller films were released and only 37 Horror (24 less). However Horror gained 5% of the total box office and Thriller only gained 2.5% showing that even though there were more thriller films than horror it didn't mean that thriller would be more popular with the public. We can also see the Horror earned 57.5 million and thriller only earned 29.1 million, this tells us that even though more thriller films are release horror films are much more profitable. However Animation had the highest % at the box office at 21.4%. This was Despicable Me 2 which means it could have been because the first movie was popular and the public wanted to watch the follow up, however it's most likely that the genre is Animation. This is because this genre can cater to all ages and not just adults (like horror) but children and the elderly as well. 


In this table we can see the amount of cinemas each genre of film was shown at. We can see that SciFi was shown at the most cinemas (422), which allows us to conclude that this genre has a higher demand from the public. Therefore this genre is shown at more places due to it gaining box offices more money, this could be because these films have now become more life like and special effects have advanced to make SciFi more exciting for audiences as it's something beyond our world. However war films are shown at the least amount of cinemas (14) which could be because they are the opposite to SciFi- unpopular and therefore not profitable for box offices.  It could also be because war films are boring as war is everywhere in the media and therefore war doesn't seem as interesting to watch.
