    Tyler Perry Studio's 330 acres & 12 sound stages are bigger than Disney, Warner Bros, & Paramount's combined. It also has 50,000 sq ft dedicated to standing permanent sets with a working residential neighborhood. Plus, Tyler Perry's studios generated $900 million last year. Puzzling how you could miss this!? CNBC should dedicate a whole episode to TP Studios.

    I think the editor really missed the mark by not highlighting Tyler Perry triumphs in the movie industry. That should’ve been a core topic point of discussion as it not only forced Hollywood to recognize a diverse workforce. But decentralized Hollywood and NY into realizing that other states can offer better incentives. Disappointed in this.

Atlanta is in a beautiful place, has a near perfect climate, and walkable areas will make its already great culture be even more alive. NYC should not be the only option for big city life.

Adding more taxes, fees, and regulations to those that are already burdened. Requiring diversity in upper management and on company boards, painful environmental regulations, poor policing etc. Many Californians are entitled and love to play the victim. Let these business go to where they are appreciated by people who want to work. Not sit on their ass collecting a UBI check.

    Filming in Georgia has been going on since John Wayne and Burt Reynolds. Parts of the movie Green Berets was filmed in 1967 in Columbus Georgia. Deliverance was filmed in Rabun County in 1972. Tyler Perry was not even born in 1967 and might have been a small child in 1972. Yes Tyler Perry has done a fantastic job with film in Georgia however he is part of the big puzzle that makes up the film industry in Georgia. No one company has a monopoly and can take credit for the Georgia Film Industry. They are all contributors.

    Though then-Governor Jimmy Carter established the Georgia Film Office in the early 1970’s, David O. Selznick really started all this in 1939, when he decided to host the world premiere of his epic “Gone With The Wind” not in Hollywood, but here in Atlanta at the Loew’s Grand theater; the entire cast, including Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, and Olivia de Havilland, were there. Another premiere would follow at that same Loew’s Grand in 1961 to commemorate the Civil War Centennial (the theater was destroyed by fire in the late ‘70s and torn down for the Georgia-Pacific Tower).
    BUT…aren’t we forgetting Orlando, Florida? All during the ‘90s, tons of film and TV productions were done there as Disney and Universal had studio lots right on their theme parks; until Atlanta, they _were_ the Hollywood of the South.

    I first noticed how much filming took place in Georgia when I saw The Walking Dead being filmed there (back when TWD was good.) Also TNT has their "NBA on TNT" show in Atlanta which seemed odd 10+ years ago but now it's the norm to have everything filmed in GA.

    Fort Monmouth, NJ will suit Netflix. It’s close to NYC and locations like Asbury Park are ripe 🎥

      @@trongriffinproductions7159 You know nothing. Tyler Perry was the one that got the state to do the payroll tax credit. He was the first one to start it in Atlanta and created the biggest studio there. There are only a few major movie studios and Tyler Perry is one of the major ones or the best and most popular ones.

      @@Highstate808 No you know nothing. No major film and television publication has ever gave Tyler Perry credit for Georgia's film/television production success because the state had already implemented a major tax credit that helped everything over the top. Before that, the 1990s is when Black entertainers started flocking to Atlanta in what was called Black Atlanta. Tyler Perry moved to Atlanta because he wanted to be part of the movement and he saw how the city entertainment scene was getting larger. as hip hop and films were being filmed in the city more and more. To give Perry so much credit, would be taking away from those who inspired Perry to move to Atlanta. BET was filming shows like Comic View in Atlanta before Perry. TNT and TBS were in Atlanta before Perry as well. I like Tyler Perry but other black people chose Atlanta way before him.

    Hollywood and the city of Los Angeles have been resting on their laurels. Too much red tape and taxes is killing the movie industry here. I remember when I was younger I would see movie productions all over town. There was this one old house by my school in which they always seemed to film stuff there and now I rarely see an film production going on there

    If films studios get a tax cut, should car companies get a tax credit? What about appliance manufacturers? What about warehousing companies, should they get a tax credit too?
    Everyone wants good schools, paved roads and police and fire departments but no one wants to pay for them.
    Getting new jobs threw tax credits never works in the long run.
