Winnersh Film Studios and Stage Fifty - Administration

Winnersh Film Studios, a Berkshire-based film studio, and its parent company Stage Fifty, entered administration on 2 April.

The studios have been a popular location for Hollywood movies including Ghostbusters: A Frozen Empire and The Boys In The Boat, which were partly filmed there.

They cited cashflow issues arising out of the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes in the US as the reasons for their financial issues.

Nick Holloway and Stephen Absolom of Interpath Advisory were appointed joint administrators and said that the businesses are continuing to run as usual, and that secured lender SCIO Capital, which appointed the administrators, is committed to stabilising the business so that it can move forward.
