Canada hosted 9% (or 11 out of 109) of the films released by the “major or mini-major” studios in 2015, with B.C. leading the way with six, followed by Ontario (three) and Alberta and Quebec (one each), according to a report from FilmL.A.

The six films hosted by B.C. were Fifty Shades of Grey, Hotel Transylvania 2, Seventh Son, The Age of Adaline, The Lazarus Effect and Tomorrowland, while Toronto had Crimson Peak, Poltergeist and Pixels, Alberta had The Revenant and Quebec had The Walk.

The U.S. hosted 65% of the 109 films, while the U.K. hosted 14%.

The FilmL.A. study annually tracks California’s share of production of feature films released theatrically in the U.S, and how it ranks against competing jurisdictions.

The total budget for the 11 Canada-shot movies was USD$822 million, according to the report, with FilmL.A. estimating that 70% ($575.4 million) of that total was spent in the jurisdictions where production took place. This discrepancy is due to the fact that “most feature films produced today use multiple jurisdictions throughout every stage of production,” noted the report.

In total, Canada hosted one less major film in 2015 than it did in 2014, and four less than it did in 2013. Georgia, Louisiana and the U.K. meanwhile all hosted an increased number of the largest films, with California and New York both posting declines. Pennsylvania hosted six films from the major or mini-major studios in 2015, compared with just one the year before.

Within the past 15 months both Ontario and more recently British Columbia‘s tax credit programs have been cut in order to manage the rising costs of the programs to the provinces. This, according to the report, is becoming a problem in Georgia as well, which has a tax credit program that is drawing increasing criticism. The program cost the state $504 million in 2015; more than double the cost of the program in 2012.

A separate part of the report also indicated that Canada is continuing to grow as both a primary and secondary VFX location at the expense of California. “The U.K. and Canada have both usurped California (and the United States) as global centres for VFX work. This is a concern for California because the biggest-budget features spend much of their production budgets on post and VFX,” read the study.

The report analyzed the 25 top live-action movies with budgets of $75 million or more, of which Canadian jurisdictions were listed as “primary VFX locations” on 15: Avengers: Age Of Ultron, Cinderella, Fantastic Four, Furious 7, Goosebumps, In the Heart of the Sea, Jupiter Ascending, Pan, Pixels, Point Break, San Andreas, Seventh Son, The Divergent Series: Insurgent, The Martian, The Revenant. This represents a significant increase over previous years: in 2014 Canada was the main VFX location on 10 films and in 2013 the number stood at seven.

As a “secondary VFX location” as well, Canadian companies worked on 11 of the top 25 live-action movies in 2015.

Additionally, the study outlined the incentives tallied by 47 of the films in the jurisdiction in which they were made. Pixels, which had a budget of approximately $129 million, utilized $19.3 million in tax credits; The Walk wrote off $9 million of its $45 million budget in Quebec-based credits and Tomorrowland, shot in B.C. put $26.4 million in incentives against its $180 million budget.
