IndieWire Turns to ProdPro Data in Paramount Settlement Debate

As Paramount faces pressure from Hollywood unions over a potential settlement, IndieWire turns to ProdPro data to help illustrate the broader production challenges facing the U.S. film and television industry.

The DGA and IATSE have outlined conditions they want addressed as part of a potential Paramount settlement, including commitments to theatrical filmmaking and production in the U.S.

Those demands come at a time when the U.S. share of global production has declined significantly. ProdPro data shows the U.S. accounted for 38% of global production in 2025, down from 52% in 2022. The shift reflects increasing competition from international markets offering attractive incentives and growing production infrastructure.

ProdPro tracks these changes across the global production landscape, providing visibility into where projects are shooting, how production levels are shifting, and which markets are gaining momentum.

The data helps put the Paramount settlement debate into a larger context: commitments to U.S. production are being made against a backdrop of increasingly global competition for film and television projects.

ProdPro provides the production intelligence to understand where film and television is happening, and where it’s headed next.
