Cinema box office taking reached a new record in 2008, according to figures released by the UK Film Council (UKFC), although there was also a downturn in film production spend.   The box office takings for the UK and the Republic of Ireland totalled £949.5m, an increase of 5% on 2007 and the highest record since 1989. British Films, such as Mamma Mia, accounted for nearly one third of cinema receipts.
