Films often cost $35-100 million to produce. Where does that money go?
Much of it is spent where the movie is being made. The motion picture industry infuses millions and millions of dollars into state and local economies. As you'll see below, Texas (and particularly Austin) gets a generous share.
According to the Texas Film Commission, more than 1,000 projects have been made in Texas since 1910. Here are some selected titles.
