Back to the board

Thread:

My thoughts on LA/film industry in the wake of this recent news that Paramount is leaving California completely. - By Nikos September 18, 2026 at 01:43:23 PM
- The big difference is that this move is motivated purely by political spite, not economics - By syrfan September 18, 2026 at 03:01:03 PM
- Obviously, the film industry is a huge economic engine in and around LA, but I’m curious what percentage it accounts for. - By MFlyer September 18, 2026 at 02:10:08 PM
  - Looks like somewhere between 4-6% of jobs are movie/entertainment related. Interestingly only 27% of US film/entertainment is in LA and surrounding area** - By xcheck September 18, 2026 at 02:25:29 PM
    - So much production has already moved to ATL, Nashville, Vancouver etc* - By WOK September 18, 2026 at 02:44:09 PM

        And I think that Georgia has stopped giving the massive tax breaks for movie production. (nm) - By GritsGoBlue September 18, 2026 at 04:42:00 PM
  - pretty fair but - By Nikos September 18, 2026 at 02:16:08 PM
- It’s still a threat. * - By crumbs September 18, 2026 at 02:03:24 PM
- Not sure about the dire conclusion, but really interesting post.* - By jjwalker September 18, 2026 at 02:00:30 PM
- One caveat. The City of Detroit depopulated, but the metro area didn’t. Detroit’s MSA peaked at 4.43 million in 1970, and the census bureau’s estimate for 2025 was 4.39 million - By brick September 18, 2026 at 01:58:03 PM
  - A couple contrasts. Metro New Orleans: 1990-1.23 million. 2025-970,000 - By brick September 18, 2026 at 02:03:19 PM
  - fair. thank you * - By Nikos September 18, 2026 at 01:58:39 PM
    - The growth in early 20th century Detroit must’ve been crazy to see. Detroit MSA 1910-709,883 - By brick September 18, 2026 at 02:08:18 PM
- Los Angeles will simply become Influencer Heaven. In a way, the proper successor to Hollywood in terms of how humans choose to spend their attention. (nm) - By suede September 18, 2026 at 01:51:51 PM
  - yes I suppose * - By Nikos September 18, 2026 at 01:54:11 PM
- Probably headed to the middle east* - By Cincywolve September 18, 2026 at 01:47:42 PM
  - yes. already underway * - By Nikos September 18, 2026 at 01:47:56 PM
- Interesting. I have no thoughts beyond that. Have no idea about the Film Industry in or outside LA* - By Daytripper September 18, 2026 at 01:47:03 PM
