How do British films attract an audience?
Usually British films have British themes and therefore will attract British citizens to the cultural and historical interest in the country.
British films add diversity to the industry when compared to American blockbusters which aren't necessarily made with intricate detail.
Also, British films use innovative ways of marketing instead of mainstream TV adverts and posters which adds more kudos.
I think perhaps Aficionados went to see Ex Machina, Suffragette, The Inbetweeners 2, Macbeth, Attack the Block and Far from the Madding Crowd because they are all differ in genre, EG. Ex Machina is a Sci-Fi film and The Inbetweeners 2 is a comedy.
Other categories which may have seen the films are 'Mainstream' and 'Mainstream plus' as they will view popular films and the films listed are well known.
So, why have a British film industry?
Having a British film industry adds diversity to the motion pictures being watched around the world and also gives British citizens a chance for work in the industry, whether it be acting, directing, set design etc. The British film industry also seems to do well on profit and adds friendly competition to the American film industry when it comes to awards.
