Now that it looks as though Paramount Studios will leave California for greener pastures in Tennessee, people are starting to wonder what is going to happen to the entertainment industry.
Spencer Pratt has some predictions and none of them are good news for Hollywood. And it’s not as if Pratt is some random bystander here. He has worked in the industry and he knows a lot more about Los Angeles than the average person.
It’s amazing that the people of LA could have had this man for mayor but blew it. He might have been able to actually solve some of these problems.
Pratt recently wrote on Twitter/X:
When Paramount leaves, all they need is one good quarter, and the floodgates will open. Every studio will leave. Nothing anchors the film industry to CA anymore, and if the bean-counters can make movies cheaper in TN, plus pay no income tax? Game over.
You used to need to be in LA if you wanted to be in the business. All the studios were physically there, and all the celebrities lived there: LA had the status. But now, everyone is leaving. LA isn’t cool anymore. Spielberg doesn’t live there anymore, Mel Gibson’s house burned down, Nic Cage’s driveway collapsed…why stay here and do battle with naked drug zombies and hours of traffic every day?
Studios are pragmatic. They prioritize the bottom line. They relocate to film in Hungary because they can shave a few bucks off their budgets…once Paramount pumps out a few movies that are in the black a month faster because they have less overhead in Tennessee…it’s going to be an instantaneous departure for everyone.
You are watching Bob Bonta slaughter California’s golden goose right before your eyes. Insane to see.
Here’s the tweet:

Mayor Karen Bass is trying to do damage control, but it’s probably already too late.
Hollywood was born here—and it belongs here. From creating California’s film and television tax credit as Speaker of the Assembly to cutting red tape and filming costs as Mayor, I’ve fought to keep production in Los Angeles.

The time to be thinking about this was 4 to 6 years ago.
