The BFI monitors cinema admissions through its quarterly box office statistical releases and annual Statistical Yearbook, and later this year will undertake research to better understand audiences for film and changing consumer habits, including cinema attendance. This will help inform future policy interventions as part of the BFI’s next five year plan, in addition to current initiatives such as their Film Audience Network and Neighbourhood Cinema programme.
