It's about 50 films in just the past 5 years for Pittsburgh - that's quite a bit more than your list of about 25 in Detroit over ten years. Not including TV shows, videos, other productions, etc.
There are a lot more movies filmed in Detroit in the last few years, than what I listed. I only gave a sample of the high budget films.
Fwiw I do not live in Detroit, nor anywhere near it. My ties are closer to Chicago and I could care less about Detroit, however, I am not oblivious to the fact that the Michigan Film incentives has turn that city into a filming mecca. The IMDb sight list 915 Detroit films, going way back though. IMDb: Most Popular Titles With Location Matching "Detroit, Michigan, USA"
Pittsburgh has an impressive list too. I tried to do a search for them to at the IMDb sight, but I could not get anything to come up under the category of Movie Locations in Pittsburgh. I somebody can find a way to get the full list, then that would be great. It would be good to see a fair comparison between the two cities.
Atlanta unfortunately? By most accounts, Atlanta has the 3rd or 4th largest film and television industry in the country. Get used to it ... and get over it.
The Weather Channel, CNN (I think?), plus reality shows. Seems like a decent scene.

--Fiscal year 2013 saw record investment by 142 feature films and television projects. Economic impact statewide was worth more than $4 billion in 2013.*
* This has nothing to do with The Weather Channel or CNN.
Vancouver and Toronto. I've shot in both places a lot. Great crews without paying the outrageous rates that union workers charge. And New Zealand rocks, too.
North Carolina from the Mountains and especially Wilmington. TV Shows Revolution, Sleepy Hollow to movies THe Hunger GAmes. Continue to be filmed there. But NC has been called hollywood east for a while.
