This is England initial points.


  • This is England was realised in 2006 by companies such as Warp films , Big arty production , EM media , Film4 , Optimum releasing and Screen Yorkshire. Screen Yorkshire and EM media were both companies that provided money for the production of the film. 
  • This is Yorkshire was directed by Shane Meadows who also directed films such as small time and a dead mans shoes. 
  • This is England is a good example of a social realist gendered film , as is it set in the midlands and highlights the contrast between working class England and the stereotypical view of high class culture and living.
  •  It made 1.3 million from the uk box office after being screened for 56 weeks , in the uk the starting number of screens was 62 and the highest amount of screens was 151. Whereas in the us it ran for 15 weeks and still only made 328k this is due to the lack of screening it had starting at 1 screening and the highest amount of screenings being 14. This is due to this is England being screened in art house cinemas in the US and not making it to big branded cinema companies such as vue and Odeon. 
  • Sweden and France were both countries in with this is England made more than one million pound from box office alone , the total gross of this is England came to a total of $7,847,165 which was highly impressive for an indie film.
