Johnny Depp's "Public Enemies" Helps Wisconsin Communities

[dgridley]

From the article:

According to early estimates by Film Wisconsin and The Associated Press, film crews spent more than $5.6 million on hotels, restaurants, supplies and local workers like stagehands. Scott Robbe, executive director for Film Wisconsin, said the complete figures should be compiled in about two months. He expects the total impact to be more than $10 million.

"The preliminary numbers really indicate that there's definite economic power for the state in terms of developing the film and television production industry here," Robbe said.

From March 17 until June 30, "Public Enemies" filmed in Madison, Manitowish Waters, Oshkosh, Columbus, Milwaukee, Darlington, Beaver Dam, Eureka, Oregon and around Mirror Lake in Wisconsin as well as Indiana, Illinois and Los Angeles.
