NC film productions already spent record $409M in 2021, created 25,000 jobs

The $409 million spent so far — with an expected yearly total of over $750 million — is the largest tally the state has seen since the creation of the North Carolina Film and Entertainment Grant.

This new in-state spending figure far surpasses the state’s previous record of $373 million from 2012, when films “Iron Man 3” and “We’re The Millers,” along with television shows “Revolution,” “Homeland,” and “Banshee” were filmed in the state.

The productions have created over 25,000 jobs for film professionals.
