James Bond helps Pinewood Studios back into profit

A series of blockbusters, including the latest James Bond movie, has helped UK film studios Pinewood Shepperton return to profit.

The group reported a pre-tax profit of £3m in the six months to 30 September, compared to a £5.4m loss for the half year to the end of December last year.

Revenue from Skyfall as well as an upcoming Disney film made its film arm the star performer for the period.
