2008年是英國(guó)電影業(yè)破記錄的一年。去年一年中，英國(guó)人花在電影院中的錢高達(dá)9.5億英鎊，創(chuàng)了1989年以來的新高。

《媽媽咪呀》和《量子危機(jī)》成為高票房的功臣。據(jù)英國(guó)電影局的最新數(shù)據(jù)，《媽媽咪呀》一片的票房就高達(dá)6910萬英鎊，是08年的票房總冠軍。

盡管如此，英國(guó)電影的海外投資還是有所下降，專家評(píng)說這是由于美國(guó)編劇的行業(yè)罷工導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果。

總體說來，英國(guó)電影業(yè)的整體發(fā)展還是健康的，由英國(guó)獨(dú)立投資并拍攝的電影增加了20%，英國(guó)年均出產(chǎn)的影片超過60部，行業(yè)投資達(dá)到1.92億英鎊。

MAMMA MIA! BOOSTS UK BOX OFFICES

Mamma Mia! and Quantum of Solace have helped the UK box office to a record- breaking year.

Cinema-goers spent nearly ￡950m last year, the highest box office receipts since records began in 1989.

New figures released by the UK Film Council show the Abba-inspired musical was the biggest earner of 2008, making some ￡69.1m.

But overseas investment in British film productions is down almost a quarter, falling from ￡753m to ￡578.2m. The 23% dip has been partly blamed on factors like the US writers' strike.

The new figures paint a picture of mixed fortunes for British films. Spending on films financed and shot wholly in the UK is up more than 20% on 2007. More than 60 feature films were produced, with the total spending reaching ￡192m.
