California leads list of states for film production, but loses market share

Sections

For the second year in a row, California is the top state in the nation for film production. But the share of movies being shot in the Golden State fell from 21 percent in 2014 to 17 percent last year, a new study found.

Nineteen out of 109 movies released by major U.S. film companies in 2015 were produced primarily in California, according to FilmL.A., the film office for the greater Los Angeles region.

Among the 19 films were “Straight Outta Compton,” “Entourage” and “The Wedding Ringer.”

Case Study: Rosewood
Television shows like Dexter, CSI Miami and Nip/Tuck all have two things in common: they were fictionally set in Miami, but filmed in Los Angeles and Orange County. This year, Fox’s new show Rosewood joins this list. Rosewood is a police procedural drama that focuses on Dr. Johnny Rosewood, the owner of one of the top independent crime labs in the country.
