Total Film Encroaches On EMAP’s Empire

Total Film Encroaches On EMAP’s Empire

Of those film/cinema titles audited in the January-June 1998 ABC period, Total Film has enjoyed a block-busting rise in circulation with a 21.8% increase in magazines sold. In this period it shifted 61,497 copies, an actual gain of 11,010 copies year on year.

The same 6-monthly ABC figures for Empire and Neon did not reveal such a titanic change of fortune; Empire gained over 2,000 copies and Neon remained steady, selling just over 40,000.
