Film studio reels in record profits

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and the latest Harry Potter movie helped film studios Pinewood Shepperton boost half-yearly profits by 15.8% to a record £6.7m (€10m), it said today.

The new big screen version of Roald Dahl’s children’s favourite and The Goblet Of Fire, being made at the studios, were among several large productions which helped Pinewood to lift studio facility sales in the six months to June 30.
