Hi, 
if anyone can help:
I am looking for statistics relating to the following with regards to
the film industry in India, as well as the US and UK.
1. Number of films produced each year
2. Cost of making a film
3. Cinema Attendance figures
4. DVD sale figures
5. DVD rental figures
6. DVD piracy figures
The information should be as up to date as possible i.e from 2000-2004
Hope some one can help...

I can comment on India only.

Global Audience for Indian movies - 3.6 Billion (Hollywood has 2.6
billion, dunno about UK movies)

Films/year - Easily a 1000 feature films(includes movies in Hindi -
Bollywood, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Malayalam, Marathi &
possible Gujurathi)

Cost - depends, on whether you are making a high-grossing blockbuster,
a medium budget hit movie or what's now known as "mutliplex" movie.
costliest till date has been around 10 mil$

Attendance figures - dont have it sorry.

DVD sales figures - Umm, 1% of the people in India would know that
there are things called "DVDs" of them 1% would buy. Outside India,
Indian movie VCDs & DVDs do good sales I am told. Sorry, dont have any
numbers. do let me know if you get them.

Piracy runs well in the cities - and it benefits the user/consumer,
like me very much. I dont have to shell out 100 rupees to watch crap
movies. Only 20 will do! (1$=44Re)

hope this helps.
