97W

Total film inward investment Year £ millions 1995 216.45 1996 387.1 1997 261.90 1998 214.20 1999 336.37 Note:
The figures cover the total cost of films made in the UK by foreign-owned companies, not just the expenditure in the UK. However, this will be offset by expenditure in the UK on post-production of films shot outside the UK.
