On-location filming in Los Angeles dropped by 5.2% in the second quarter, due to a 15.1% decline in television shooting, FilmL.A. reported Thursday.
Feature film activity rose 11%, while commercials surged 14.2%. The California Film Tax Credit accounted for 11.3% of the feature shoot days, including Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Brie Larson’s “Captain Marvel,” “Bumblebee” and Amy Poehler’s Netflix-backed “Wine Country.”
TV dramas fell 9% to 718 shoot days, and incentivized series accounted for 28% of all activity on shows such as “The Oa,” “Swat,” “Strange Angel,” “Snowfall,” “Mayans M.C.,” and “Animal Kingdom.” TV comedies posted the only increase in the TV category, rising 23% to 470 shoot days. Projects that received the California Film & TV Tax Credit and filmed in second quarter included “I’m Dying Up Here” and “Ballers.”
Reality TV, which has no incentive support, pulled the whole television category down with its 31.6% year-over-year loss.
