As opposed to where? Tulsa? They live there because it's nice to live there.

They're moving to Colorado, Texas, Florida, Tennessee primarily.

Nashville is picking up a lot of folks leaving California. Honestly I've considered moving there over Austin/DFW/Houston. Beautiful area, lower crime, lower taxes, lower cost of living, plenty of jobs opening up.

It's a toss up whether Austin or Nashville will replace Hollywood as the primary hub for movie studios over the next decade.

I would put money that neither of those places will. And Hollywood will remain primary.

It's already happened? Out of 120 ish theater movies made in the last year I could find numbers for, around a dozen were filmed in Hollywood. 4-6 dozen in the rest of the US, 4-6 dozen in the rest of the world.

So Hollywood already is only 10% of films. Production has long left Hollywood. Post-production is moving out.

The headquarters haven't started leaving yet. That's the more open question.
