'Global Box Office Market Share
2000s–2010s: U.S. movies held a dominant 85% to 92% share of the worldwide box office.
2014: American films accounted for 85.6% of the global market.
Recent Years: The share dropped to roughly 69.5% by 2024 and around 66% in recent assessments.'
'California's entertainment industry contributes an estimated $70 billion annually to the state's economy and supports over 700,000 jobs, though its national share has shifted over the decades.

Historical Share and Economic Value Shifts
1990s Dominance: California held roughly 45% of total U.S. employment in the motion picture and sound recording industry.
2000s Early Decline: Following the 2001 recession, the state's share of industry employment dropped to around 40% as competitive tax incentives began emerging in other regions.
2010s–2020s Increased Competition: Despite generating massive economic outputs—such as an estimated $22 billion from 2015 to 2020 via state-incentivized productions—increased "runaway production" and competition from hubs like Georgia and international locations reduced California's grip.
Recent Post-Pandemic Lows: Following the 2023 industry strikes and streaming adjustments, California's share of entertainment employment dropped below 30%, prompting state leaders to expand the California Film and Television Tax Credit Program to $750 million annually to stabilize local production.'
'Southern California accounts for roughly 27% to 30% of total U.S. entertainment and film/TV industry employment, while the regional entertainment economy in Los Angeles County contributes over $115 billion annually.
The New York Times
Industry Share and Percentage
Employment Share: The Los Angeles region's share of national film and television employment stands at approximately 27% (down from around 35% prior to recent industry strikes).
Statewide Share: Federal data tracked by the Federal Reserve shows California as a whole holds just under 30% of total motion picture and sound recording employment nationwide, falling from historical highs of 40%–45% in previous decades.
Production Output: Only about one-fifth (20%) of North American feature films and TV shows are now primarily shot inside California as production shifts to rival hubs like Atlanta, New York, and international locations.
The Guardian
Economic Value
Regional Contribution: Data from the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation indicates that the local entertainment ecosystem contributes in excess of $115 billion each year to the Southern California regional economy.
Jobs Supported: The sector directly and indirectly supports roughly 681,000 jobs across Los Angeles County, spanning traditional production as well as ancillary local businesses like catering, logistics, and equipment rentals.'
'It took 2 years for the Los Angeles entertainment industry to suffer a 30% drop in employment numbers.
According to reports tracking employment data, Los Angeles County’s motion picture and sound recording jobs dropped from a peak of roughly 142,000 jobs in 2022 down to around 100,000 jobs by late 2024 (a loss of roughly 42,000 positions).
The phrasing "35 to 27" in recent film industry reports refers directly to this 35% reduction in behind-the-camera worker hours and production metrics recorded between 2022 and 2024.'
Some sources put the time to go from 35% to 27% Los Angeles entertainment and film industry employment as a percentage of total U.S. entertainment and film/TV industry employment, at under 2 years.
'Los Angeles did not "take decades to reach" a 35 percent share of U.S. national film employment; rather, its share declined down to 35 percent after dominating the industry for over a century.
Department of Economic Opportunity (.gov)
Historically, Los Angeles held a massive majority of the country's entertainment workforce, peaking well above 40 to 50 percent of national employment during the 20th century.

The 35 percent figure represents a modern milestone of industry decline and dispersal rather than growth:
Applied Geographic Solutions
The 35% Mark (2022): In 2022, California (largely concentrated in Los Angeles County) accounted for 35 percent of all U.S. film, TV, and sound employment.
The Recent Decline (2023–Present): Following the 2023 Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes, along with aggressive tax incentive competition from places like Georgia, New York, the U.K., and Canada, LA's share of national employment plummeted further to 27 percent.
Ultimately, Hollywood captured the lion's share of the film market almost immediately within its first two decades of existence (the 1910s to 1930s), making 35 percent a historical low point rather than a target it spent decades climbing to reach.'

Hackers and rogue security agents disrupted the taking of some photographs of me who write this physically showing the text. No less than 19 pictures were snapped, with a number of them showing the text, some more clearly than others but with low light intensity. The hackers and rogue security agents want to create the impression that the pictures were taken in the evening though they were snapped in the afternoon prior to 5pm. To get the right balance of lighting took no less than 9 edits.
Some of the photographs are shown in the following video. This is an observation.
