LOS ANGELES—Sound stage occupancy in the Greater Los Angeles area declined to 63 percent in 2024, a 6 percent drop from 2023, according to a report released April 3 by Film LA, continuing a trend that officials described as worrisome as the film industry aims to recover from the impacts of COVID-19 and a dual worker strike.
As a result of challenging years, regional sound stage occupancy levels, which previously held in the 90th percentile from 2016 through 2022, declined sharply. In 2023, average regional studio occupancy was 69 percent, falling to 63 percent in 2024.
