Without the tax credits no movie would be shot in California. There are plenty of states standing in line. Texas is one of them.

So in other words we’re paying Hollywood so their actors don’t have to leave the state to go to work?

Georgia gives tax credits and has a thriving motion picture industry. See Vampire Diaries and others. Berry College, Rome, Ga. has enjoyed the filming of over 50 movies including scenes from Sweet Home Alabama and Remember The Titans. Athens, Ga. had scenes from Road Trip.

According to the MPAA the top states
for movie production revenue in
2016 (couldn’t find anything more
recent) were:
Georgia
Hawaii
Illinois
New York
Massachusetts
New Mexico
Ohio
Pennsylvania
California

Notice California is at the bottom
of the list. You are correct in the
fact that tax breaks play a big role
in production costs.
