Hollywood will go where the tax credits are. Of course NYC and LA will remain constant centers with huge activity.
Several years back Massachusetts enacted tax breaks for film production and as a result there was a very big uptick in films being shot in the state. In the last decade films such as The Fighter, The Town, Gone Baby Gone, The Departed, Black Mass, Bride Wars, American Hustle, The Heat, Shutter Island, the new Ghostbusters movie, Ted, Ted 2, The Judge, The Equalizer, Here Comes the Boom, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, The Surrogates, Unfinished Business, Grown Ups, Zookeeper and 21 were filmed in the state.

haha this is so true. You summed up what everyone(including myself) was arguing about for 7 pages long. I guess the answer is no one really knows what the future for hollywood will look like at this point in time.
It looks like Team The South has locked ATL in a tie with LA. Might need to make up a few new screen names to push it cleanly over the top, though.
Why do you have such a problem? Atlanta has the brightest future in the entertainment industry. Does that mean it will be bigger than LA and NYC? Probably not. But LA and NYC have been declining in those respects and Atlanta has been gaining.
You can't say what's happening now will continue. There is no evidence or guarantees. It's just wishful thinking. That's all it is.
Louisiana had most production in 2013 and they capped their credits. Who knows how much their production will change. Probably a ton.
North Carolina was a player for 15 or 20 years. Not anymore.

LA has been declining? OK, post proof of that.
Then prove that "Atlanta has the brightest future in the entertainment industry."
The fact is that the biggest future is in LA, because LA is the absolute center of the entertainment industry. If you vote "Atlanta," it either means you don't understand the question, you are on Team The South, or you are unable to process information intelligently.

Atlanta is building a lot of infrastructure that will help the industry to grow and continue to prosper. The "brighest future" doesn't necessarily mean "Which will be the biggest/most well know for film production" to me (which will probably still be LA and NYC), but which is making the most strides as of now, and that's Atlanta. If for no reason other than it's cheap.

Those places weren't building the infrastructure Atlanta is today. Anything is possible, but I don't see Georgia just falling at the moment like those places.
