7. This tells me that animated, action and comedy films were the most successful among the film production companies. This implies that these companies which produce animated, action and comedy films meet the audience's expectations and follow all the conventions of those specific film genres. It also means that most film production companies may be more encouraged to produce films under those three genres as those are the films that seem to be more likable among the film audience, and possibly more likely to be successful in earning a bigger sum at the box office. As for the film audience, it is evident that the audience of films are young children being taken to cinema's or even kidults (adults which take a liking to things and items dedicated for children) due to the high popularity of animation movies.
