While it's true 'no breakdown of this figure was given', the Yearbook makes it clear that the UK's 15% global market share was 'thanks to the success of several inward investment titles including The Dark Knight, Mamma Mia! and Quantum of Solace.'

Prof. MacCabe may object to the inclusion of US studio pictures in the market share calculation (and there's a reasonable debate to be had here), but it's academic 'folly' to imply the UK Film Council is hiding the fact.
