Notes: Figures shown are of independent domestic UK films released in the UK and Republic of Ireland within two years of principal photography (see section 8.1). Box office figures valid to February 2014.
The median (the value at which equal numbers of films have higher and lower box office values) is a better representation of the ‘middle’ of the distribution of box office revenues than the mean which tends to have an upward skew due to a small number of high grossing films. Means are also shown in the table for reference.

The median (the value at which equal numbers of films have higher and lower box office values) is a better representation of the ‘middle’ of the distribution of box office revenues than the mean which tends to have an upward skew due to a small number of high grossing films. Means are also shown in the table for reference.

‘Estimated combined budget’ is the sum of the estimated budgets of all the films associated with the named company. It is not a measure of that company’s contribution to the budget. Most films had a number of production companies associated with them and funding came from a variety of sources including National Lottery funding, UK film tax relief, equity investment, US studio investment, distributor minimum guarantees and television pre-sales.
The table includes companies associated with five or more films over the three-year period. This cut off point omits a number of other major production companies behind well-known UK films, including DJ Films, Heyday Films, Number 9 Films and Potboiler Productions.

Notes:‘Total turnover’ is expressed in current values, ie not adjusted for inflation.Standard Industrial Classifications (SICs) are used to classify businesses according to the type of their economic activity. The classifications were last revised in 2003 and in 2007.For 1995-2007 data are for 2003 SICs 9211 (film and video production), 9212 (film and video distribution) and 9213 (film exhibition).
For 2008 onwards, we define film and video production as the sum of 2007 SICs 59111 (film production), 59112 (video production) and 5912 (film, video and TV post-production), film and video distribution is the sum of 59131 (film distribution) and 59132 (video distribution) and film exhibition is 5914 (film exhibition).For 2008 both film distribution and video distribution are suppressed by the ONS as confidential. The figure shown for the sum of the two is the 4-digit class total (5913) minus TV distribution (59133).For 2009, 2011 and 2012, only film is included in the distribution sector as the data for video distribution are confidential.The figures for 2011 have been revised since publication of the 2013 edition of the Yearbook.
