Top Grossing Movies V2
This visualization compares the incentive money paid by local municipalities to Hollywood productions against the resulting production costs spent in those locations, using data from Film L.A. Inc.'s 2015 Feature Film Study. The bar chart uses `d3.scaleLinear` and `d3.scaleBand` to map the quantitative cost values and categorical movie titles, with `d3.scaleOrdinal` assigning distinct colors to the two financial measures. Rendered as an SVG, it demonstrates custom axis styling and tick formatting to clearly show how incentives like Georgia's $80 million payment to Disney/Marvel correlate with substantial local spending, such as the $445 million spent on "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
AI-generated descriptionThis bar chart shows the relationship between money spent by local municipalities to attract Hollywood productions to film there, and the resulting production costs spent in those local municipalities. For example, Georgia spent around $80 million dollars to Disney/Marvel so they would film "Avengers: Age of Ultron" in Georgia. Consequently, the production spent $445 million in Georgia to film. That money presumably went to local production crews, rental houses, catering, etc. though the municipality (Georgia) may retrieve some of that spending back in sales tax to local vendors, the net benefit is the infusion of Californian cash into the pockets Georgia locals. In theory. This demonstrates how effective non-Californian movie incentives are at moving "Hollywood" out of California.
