CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY
Today I want to set out our plans to build on the success of the British film industry.
The industry has enjoyed significant successes in recent years. UK box office takings reached a record-breaking ?944 million last year, and will almost certainly break the ?1 billion barrier this year. UK films grossed $2 billion at the box office worldwide.
