It appears that the film Top Gun still has some magic.
According to new data from Paramount Pictures, California’s economy took off thanks to filming the sequel Top Gun: Maverick.
The high-flying film added more than $150 million to the economy when it was filmed throughout the state including areas in San Diego. The production also created 2,820 high-quality jobs for Californians.
“When a major motion picture films on location, the local economy soars. Productions like Top Gun: Maverick create jobs and support local businesses, while also highlighting our industry’s proud partnership with the U.S. military, which is particularly fitting as we celebrate Military Appreciation Month and Memorial Day in the coming weeks … ” Charles Rivkin, chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association said.
