The UK box office surpassed £878m for the year through November, tracking 26% behind the equivalent period in 2019, according to the latest figures from Comscore.
November added £64.1m, led by a fairly strong showing from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Its £27.9m box office to date places it as the eighth-biggest release of the year so far, ahead of Elvis (£27.5m) and behind Sing 2 (£32.9m).
In an interview with The Media Leader, John Partilla, CEO of US cinema advertising company ScreenVision, described how a relative dearth of films this year has depressed audience figures.
