Production Problems
Film 4s biggest problem was competing for cinema space with multinational film companies.
In 2001, the company suffered a major box office flop, after Charlotte Gray lost them a massive £5.7 million. In the same year Film 4 put out 14 films, yet only accounted for 0.7% of the UK box office market, they were struggling.
A complete relaunch took place in 2006. Around a quarter of all films shown were british and they were broken up by advertisements for the first time. The company left pay TV and went onto Freeview.
