From The Hollywood Reporter: “Studios have always based production decisions on where to get the best value, whether that’s on a lot in Burbank or shooting overseas. It’s always been part of the decision-making process and international locations have got more competitive over time,” says Tobias Queisser, CEO of Cinelytic, Inc., the AI-driven content intelligence platform that advises studios. “While demand for production facilities remains solid, content studios now approach budget decisions with more discipline, as profitability is now the key driver for both studios and investors.”
