The thriller genre is more popular in terms of the number of releases compared to horror genre in the UK and Republic of Ireland. There were 64 thrillers released in 2013,but only 37 horror films. In terms of profitability the horror genre actually earns more money, almost  double what the thriller genres made in less films. The horror made £57.7 million where as thriller made £29.1 million, this shows that the horror genre is more popular as more people went to see horror films than thriller with less releases. The top film in horror was World War Z which had an A list actor Brad Pitt as the main actor, this could of contributed to its success.

 
The horror genre has a higher number of sites at widest point of release with 145. Thriller had an average of 89 number of sites at the widest point of release, comparing these two i would suggest the the Horror genre is the most popular genre world wide as it has the highest number of sites at widest point of release.

This shows box office revenues per site by genre, which gives a good indication of performance in the market and its popularity of genre. Horror had an average box office per site of 10,708, comparing to the Thriller of 5,127 box office releases per site the Horror genre has more than double the amount, giving an indication of the popularity of the film genre comparing to Thriller. However Thriller has 5,667 total sites and Horror has 5,367 total sites meaning the Thriller genre was in more sites than Horror.
