UK films nab a third of takings
British films raked in a third of all
cinema takings in the UK last year.
Hits like Harry Potter, Charlie And The
Chocolate Factory, and Wallace and
Gromit helped British films take 34% of
all box office cash.
Statistics from the UK Film Council
show this is the highest figure for 10
years and is up 23% from 2004.
Eight British films made it into the
list of the top 20 highest-earning
films of 2005, with the latest Harry
Potter in top place, earning £47.6m.
