The contribution of X

          “Contribution” means how much do you give to something, how much do you give to
          the whole/ the total. “Contribution”  works  when  we  talk  about  percentages  because
          “percentage” is looking at the whole (100%). So, here I can say:


          The contribution of romance films stood at more than 50% in 1990.


          Romance film’s contribution stood at more than 50% in 1990.

          Romance film contributed more than 50% in 1990.


          What another word for “film types”?

          Film kinds = film types = film genres


          A genre is a type of something. For example, action/horror is a genre of film, romance
          is a genre of film, etc.

          Examples: three kinds of films = three genres of films = three types of films  (NOT

          three film types or three film kinds)
