The latest movie in Marvel’s Avengers series, which is just coming off the biggest opening weekend in history, was filmed in Georgia.
Producing movies like “Avengers: Infinity War” — which raked in more than $250 million in the U.S. over the weekend, according to Disney — pumps a lot of money into the state: about $60 million, according to estimates from the Georgia Film Office.
One film’s success can also attract other productions.
“It just sets a confidence in the ability for Georgia production teams and our infrastructure and everything: that they’re world class,” said Lee Thomas, deputy commissioner of the Georgia Film, Music and Digital Entertainment Office.
