Yet more regional was Early Man, Nick Parks’s latest Aardman animation, which comes from the studio’s Bristol headquarters, and Danny Boyle’s long-awaited Trainspotting sequel, T2, which shot mostly in Edinburgh.

Other big budget titles setting up camp in the UK last year included Tom Cruise adventure reboot The Mummy and Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi adventure, Ready Player One.

It is also where three-quarters of the country’s movie industry is based, thanks to post-production facilities such as special effects outfit Framestore – whose work on Gravity propelled it to global acclaim – and veteran studios Shepperton, Pinewood (where James Bond is filmed) and Leavesden, Warner Bros’ home of Harry Potter. Wootton also heads Film London, an agency which seeks to attract investors to the capital, which is currently the third busiest hub of movie production in the world, after Los Angeles and New York.
