Sales of DVDs, Blu-rays, and downloads account for more than half of the UK film industry’s revenue, making them a “critical” form of funding, according to a new report from the British Video Association.

Films like PaulThe Inbetweeners Movie, and the documentary Senna, made more than half of their money through sales or rental of home entertainment formats like DVD. With Senna, just 6 percent of its revenue came from cinema screenings.
