As Table 5 shows, drama was the most popular genre for independent UK films, which made up the majority of UK film releases (87%). The £36 million earned by drama films (41 releases) represented 27% of the total box office for all UK independent films. Over half (53%) of the drama genre’s total box office was earned by the year’s top three UK independent drama releases – Suffragette, Far from the Madding Crowd and Macbeth. Biopic was the second highest earning genre with £32 million from three releases, and comedy was third with £24 million from 25 releases. Legend, the top earning biopic, accounted for 58% of the total box office for this genre, while the top earning comedy, The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, accounted for 66% of this genre’s total gross.
