• U.K. crews earn lower wages and studios avoid employer health insurance obligations, tipping production cost comparisons in Britain’s favor despite Georgia’s tax credits.
• Georgia’s film and television spending plummeted from 412 projects in 2022 to 245 in fiscal 2025, halving the state’s once-bustling production volume.
• Trilith Studios near Atlanta has emptied stages and sold off Marvel props as local workers report unstable employment and income shortfalls since early 2024.
• Studios nationwide have cut big-budget projects to trim streaming losses and are competing across U.S. states and international markets with expanded incentives.
