James Bond thriller Skyfall helped Cineworld to higher profits, in a year when growth in the 3D format continued to stall.
Cineworld's admissions were 1% lower last year at 47.8 million due to a tough summer, but Skyfall's release in October helped box office revenues rise 3.9% to £251.6m, with average ticket prices up 5% to £5.26. Cineworld said 3D films, with an average ticket price of £6.74 against £4.78 for 2D, were still popular but the number of releases in the format was static at 37 last year.
