CinemaNX figures revealed

Around £34 million was pumped into films made in the Isle of Man while CinemaNX managed the Media Development Fund.

Treasury Minister Eddie Teare provided a breakdown of money invested per film in response to a House of Keys question for written answer.

But Mr Teare said he was unable to tell South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft about things such as overall budgets and recoupment, because of confidentiality agreements.

In addition to the millions of pounds put in, nearly 4.5 million euros was spent on 'Chico and Rita' and around $4.5 million on 'Me and Orson Welles' and 'Charge!'.
