In 2024, approximately 49% of Hollywood film and television productions were produced in Canada.
This figure is derived from the total foreign location and service (FLS) production volume in Canada, which amounted to $4.73 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. This represents a significant portion of the overall Canadian production volume of $9.58 billion during the same period .Creative First+3CTVNews+3MMW.Global.News, LLC+3C21media
FLS productions primarily encompass projects initiated by foreign producers, predominantly from the United States, and include many Hollywood films and television series. These productions often utilize Canadian locations, studios, and talent, benefiting from Canada's favorable tax incentives and skilled workforce.C21media+2CTVNews+2Creative First+2
It's important to note that the 2023 Hollywood strikes had a substantial impact on production activities, leading to a decline in FLS production from $6.65 billion in the previous year to $4.73 billion in 2023/24 . Despite this downturn, Canada remained a significant hub for Hollywood productions.CMPA | Home of Canada's media producers+3CTVNews+3MMW.Global.News, LLC+3
Major Canadian cities like Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal continue to be prominent centers for film and television production, often serving as stand-ins for various U.S. locations. Their robust infrastructure and experienced crews make them attractive destinations for Hollywood projects.Wikipedia+1Wikipedia+1
