Box Office Releases 15th-22nd/01/2012

Here are the Box office releases for this week and the companies that have produced them.

  • Underworld Awakening, Sony Pictures
  • J.Edgar, Warner Brothers
  • X Night of Vengeance, Circle Films
  • Haywire, Relativity Media
  • The Sitter, 20th Centuary Fox
So from the above it is easy to see that the six majors do dominate the UK box office

Screen Yorkshire

Screen Yorkshire supports all of the interactive media, film, TV and video games made in the Yorkshire and Humber area. They also support other organisations that produce film in that area. Screen Yorkshire puts £5,700,000 back into the British Film Industry which 2% of the Industry’s net profit. This essentially means that more British Film classics can be made which entertain audiences all over the world. Such classics that Screen Yorkshire have either funded or produced include: This is England ’86, Red Riding, Tyrannosaur, The Dammed United and many more. So from that list it is easy to tell that their films convey the 70’s – 90’s England with a very melancholy feel. Tyrannosaur for example portays a more evil side of the human conscous. It shows the demise of one person when they have a mental breakdown and the lengths they go to redeem themselves.
