Out of the top 100 highest-grossing movies of 2016, only 12 were mostly filmed in California. FilmL.A.'s Paul Audley discusses what this means for LA.

California may be home to Hollywood. But that doesn't mean all movies are filmed on the locations we have to offer.

Out of the top 100 highest-grossing movies of 2016, only 12 were mostly filmed in California. This puts the state in fourth place for movie-making locales around the globe.

That's according to a recently released report from FilmL.A., a local production permitting office. 

For more on what all of this means for Los Angeles, Take Two's A Martinez spoke with FilmL.A.'s president Paul Audley.
