The UK box office hit £1 billion for the first time last year, thanks to successes for the final film in the Harry Potter series and independent blockbusters such as The King's Speech and The Inbetweeners.
Total earnings were up 5% to £1.04 billion, while total admissions rose 1.4 % to a total of 171.6million tickets sold. British-made independent films had a particularly good year, winning a market share of 13.5%, while films either made in Britain or financed here had an impressive 36.2% share – up from 24% in 2010.
The year's highest grossing movie was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, financed by Hollywood but made in the UK, which took £73 million. But The King's Speech (£45.7million), the Oscar-winning film about King George VI's struggle to overcome his debilitating stammer, and the big-screen spin-off of Channel 4’s The Inbetweeners (£45million), were major triumphs, despite being made on comparablysmall budgets. Eight out of the top 20 grossing films at the box office were made in the UK.
