The surge is thanks to the unexpectedly strong performance of Spectre, the latest James Bond film, and a surge in children going to the movies. WPP’s Group M, Britain’s biggest media buyer, said in its latest forecast of the ad market: "Bond lifted annual revenue by 11% on its own, and the year has yet to round out with Star Wars." Children’s box office is up 50% on the year, boosted by two big films from Disney’s Pixar studio, Inside Out and Home.
