    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.

    Honestly, I really hope Atlanta's urban planning works to turn Atlanta into the NYC, Chicago or San Francisco of the south, making the downtowns exciting and walkable with great mass transit, while also preserving the forested areas with houses that are still walkable. 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.

    There have been attempts to boycott but the producers don't want to lose the millions in revenue from going back to LA. Now the alternative is to go to another state with tax credits also has issues because few states have the infrastructure to support the films and TV shows like Georgia. Georgia doesn't have to be the cheapest overall just the cheapest with major studios in place.

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 officially entered the film industry back in the mid 90's. and even then the studios were looking to leave California to make the move to key east coast states. Back then, Atlanta Georgia was often the first pick, New York was another pick but did have its issues, as the very reasons for leaving California was due to high taxes and high costs. There was already a lot of location filming and in NY not to mention much of the business end of Hollywood was also situated in NY where their parent companies were headquartered. Montreal Canada was also a major draw. There was also the benefit of Broadway and theater work for actors. logistics was an issue for NY, building new large sound stages and the costs their in. The Carolina's and Georgia didn't have those issues. in fact it already had Turner and ESPN, along with a few others that proved the move to ATL was a promising idea along with tax incentives and plenty of great real estate. so what happened? The VFX boom of the 90's. Computer animation and vfx created a new generation of film making, and many of those tech career operations were smack dab in California. All these film ideas that sat in volts collecting dust could now be brought to life because computers dramatically reduced the cost and time for productions. And so the summer blockbusters came. each with newer and better levels of vfx. it brought in billions but also inflated the cost of living in California. extreme greed and the growth of silicon valley made California the place to be. a new bubble that seemingly would never pop. but it did, by the weight of its own greed and inflation. what was once a benefit in production had been manipulated into a burden of labor and ever climbing costs. Hollywood can no longer carry the expense to produce films in California, but you can only move to places that have both sources of skilled labor and actually facilities to make the transition. aka Georgia.

    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.
