Who gets the Dr. Who income?

The Dr. Who film screening made £1.8M over the weekend.  I hope this goes to the beeb, or a substantial amount of it.

Well in theory it should go to BBC Worldwide. Which is sort of part of the BBC. i.e. it is a wholly owned subsidiary.

According to "The Guardian"....


http://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/nov/27/doctor-who-50th-day-doctor-box-offi...


"Doctor Who's 50th anniversary episode The Day of the Doctor has made more than $10m (£6m) in box office takings in its first three days being aired in cinemas around the world.

Digitally The Day of the Doctor has also raced to the top of episodes purchased on Apple's iTunes in the US and Amazon's television chart. Based on the first day of sales it is set to be the most downloaded episode of 2013 for the BBC on iTunes.

The BBC launched the The Day of the Doctor in 3D in cinemas in 15 countries from Russia to Ecuador on Saturday, and by the end of the day of Monday fans had forked out $10.2m (£6.25m) to watch it.

In the UK box office revenues from the anniversary edition – which featured three doctors, Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt as well as a cameo by Tom Baker – came to £1.8m in its first three days."
