This interesting article doesn't list scifi: http://americanfilmmarket.com/relative-popularity-genres-around-world/
How would the graph would look for scifi, would you say?

At least one "would" too many that was :)

That's because scifi is a cross over genre. For example, the new Star Trek is scifi, but would be considered action. A lot of scifi would be considered horror. And more still would be considered drama; Ex Machina.

Also, since it's AFM, we're talking a lot foreign sales. So an American comedy might not translate in Japan. Whereas an action film without much dialogue might do quite well.

Dan, thank you for the insights. I'll have to look again into how to communicate my projects with that in mind...
