UK Film Industry Reaches Record $3.8 Billion Spend in 2025
The British Film Institute (BFI) has reported a record high in film production spending in the UK, reaching $3.8 billion in 2025. This marks a 31% increase from previous years, driven largely by big-budget Hollywood productions filmed in the UK. Despite the record spend, only 7% was allocated to domestic productions, with the majority going to international projects like 'Wuthering Heights' and 'The Beatles – A Four Film Cinematic Event'. The report also noted a decline in co-production spending and a drop in cinema admissions by 30% compared to pre-COVID levels.
