Detroit Free Press: Did Michigan-made films find critical and financial success?

It was a mixed bag of critical and commercial success for films shot in Michigan the past few years, The Detroit Free Press reported today.

In other words — par for the course for Hollywood movies, according to the article.

About 90 feature films were filmed or partially filmed in Michigan from 2008 to 2010. Included in that number are films that completed post-production work in the state.

At least 2 films — "Gran Torino" and "Up in the Air" — were bigtime hits, the article says. Others didn't fare so well.

With Gov. Rick Snyder's plan to reduce the state's film incentive program, it's likely, the article points out, that Michigan won't see nearly as many productions in the coming years.
