Maybe states outside of Texas and Georgia could pay hundreds of millions in film credits to get them to move there.

Of wait that was a gravy train to nowhere.

With the decentralization of skills and really no need for having everything located at a studio lot, this was always going to be a risk for the state.

They also deferred so much to special effects and green screen work there isn't as much need for a physical space either. Now with AI that going to be doing the heavy lifting for special effects and soon even full production what incentive is there to stick around in a high tax state that is openly working against your best interest?


Thanks for the post.

Id add that they passed a law making contract work very difficult, the person had to be employed by the studios. This made it very expensive for writers to contribute works hoping for a "show", extras, people working on crews filming for a few months, etc.

All it takes is one entity with gonads to leave the pack, and give off a perception that they are in a way better place. Once that filters to the other companies, and they get a headache from the state.... they follow suit.

Cali is operating on the premise that so many of these companies have such a bricks and mortar, as well as human resource footprint, that they cant move and have taxed them in this regard. Not just studios, but IT, small businesses, old established businesses etc.

Money is fungible, once you reach the breakeven, as The Clash said so eloquently.....Should I stay or should I go

They would have to shut out the rock solid electorate that's already there though, is there that many of them that can do that?

Social distancing and masking is the only way to curb the spread.

Do you watch Paramount. They've had some great shows. They basically own the best shows right now. Lioness is bad-assed.

That's literally the DNC plan.

Breed them all in one spot then force them to spread.
Carry the brainrot plague as far as they can. Into red states is all the better in their eyes.

I absolutely agree with the idea of where you're coming from.
But in this particular case, Hollywierd doesn't need to spread.

Movie and TV industry moving into GA was about the time they started to shift from a reliable red state. That certainly wasn’t the complete cause of it, but it didn’t help.

You realize how absurd this is, 11 other state AGs are suing to keep Paramount in California. Why on earth would your state waste money to keep a business in California?

The USSC will not even hear this case if it ever got there. Its laughable, and terribly sad states that are so in debt would be wasting money on this nonsense.

Good

The far left influence in Hollywood has ruined movies and tv shows

Paramount does all of Taylor Sheridans shows which are overall the best things on tv currently

The world figured out it was all CIA slop.

We're better off with all of these people going bankrupt and new, cleaner sources arise.
