The film and TV production boom in the U.K. came to a grinding halt in 2023 amid the Hollywood writers and actors strikes.
According to the British Film Institute, the total spend on film and high-end TV production last year reached £4.23 billion ($5.37 billion) from 394 productions, down 35 percent from £6.27 billion ($7.72 billion) in 2022 as previously reported.
U.K. production spend is counted in the statistics for the year in which principal photography starts, which means shoots started in 2023 but then paused because of the strikes are fully attributed to 2023.
Or as the BFI noted: “If a production starts but then pauses, the total spend for the production is incorporated into the period’s spend data at that point, even if production restarts and concludes much later.”
Despite the drop in spend in 2023 following two years of records, the BFI highlighted that “this is the fourth-highest combined film and high-end TV spend reported...

Exclusive: Article updated at 2:54Pm Screenings are being set up this week for streamers Amazon Prime Video, Apple and Netflix to check out and potentially acquire Warner Bros’ axed Looney Tunes movie Coyote vs. Acme after the studio’s phone ran off the hook the entire weekend from angry filmmakers and talent reps over their third feature film kill after Batgirl and Scoob Holiday Haunt!
The more egregious Hollywood sin with Coyote vs. Acme is that it’s a finished film was intended for a theatrical release, while the other two movies were still in the works.
Of those kicking the tires, even though no deals have been drafted, I hear Amazon is a leading contender given the fact that Courtenay Valenti, the Head of Film, Streaming and Theatrical for Amazon Studios and MGM, was a big champion and linchpin for the movie while she was President of Production...

Global star Priyanka Chopra on Sunday hailed the passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill in India, and also demanded its swift implementation. The statement of Priyanka comes amid the demand of the Opposition Congress for immediate implementation of the Bill.
On Thursday, the Women’s Reservation Bill was unanimously passed in Rajya Sabha, a day after it was passed in Lok Sabha during the Special Session of the Parliament.
Now, 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lower House and in the State Assemblies will become a law and will be implemented after census and delimitation.
“Inspiring a new age with this historic milestone. The passing of the women’s reservation bill – ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’ is indeed a step in the right direction, but the crucial next phase is its swift and effective implementation. Here’s to an India that truly supports and empowers its women,” she wrote on Instagram Stories.
