The Barbie movie directly contributed over £80m to the UK economy and created 685 jobs, its parent studio Warner Bros said, as part of its statement to a government inquiry.
The Hollywood studio was one of scores of organisations that submitted written evidence to a parliamentary committee inquiry into the British film and high-end television industry, which is designed to “investigate what needs to be done to maintain and enhance the UK as a global destination for production and how the independent film production sector can best be supported”.
