British Cinema hits and flops, 2020

Every British Cinema film released in 2020 with a cost and a gross on record, graded on gross against cost six weeks after release. Blockbuster is three times its cost and up, hit is one and a half, average is one, and anything under one is a flop. 3 of the year's releases have both figures.
