The choice to open ILM studios in London was made for two reasons:
– The first reason for tax breaks on films in the UK, which allow film production companies to claim up to 25% off production costs, to the Budget aimed at further supporting investments in the UK visual effects sector United.
The UK film industry employs 117,000 people, generating over £ 73 billion a year.
According to the BFI, the UK film market is the third largest film market in the world. It has an industry turnover of £ 7.3 billion with exports of £ 1.3 billion and a trade surplus of £ 789 million.
