I think CGI helps. Ant-Man was filmed in Georgia. They were able to change the background from a large field to the San Francisco skyline.

No one is going to Texas. 20th Century Fox tried to move to Arizona and no one would go so they scratched their plans!

Yes, runaway production is a problem but it’s been a problem for well over 20 years. Here and New York.

They still do film in LA but the natives hate it. Road shutdowns, traffic issues, etc.

Tax credits. Just read GA gave 1.2 billion in credits, the most of any state. There's a reason everything is filmed in Atlanta.

Now other cities can provide cheap locales and amenities. My nephew is a cinematographer and lives near Hollywood for the business side, but never works there.

I think I heard that there are also better cameras and other technologies that make it so you don’t need good weather all the time to film.

Is this a combination of real estate prices and taxes?

or

Just real estate prices?

Just taxes?

The permits are too expensive?

I thought Hollywood had deep enough pockets to cover the costs.
