L.A. Soundstage Occupancy Plunges From 93% to 62% as Streaming Boom Reverses

Summary
The article reports on the declining state of Los Angeles soundstage occupancy, which fell from 93% in 2019 to 62% last year, as the streaming boom gave way to a spending pullback beginning in 2023. With fewer scripted series being greenlit and broadcasters cutting orders and episode counts, many soundstages have lost tenants. In response, complexes like BoxCar Studios in Atwater Village — which has hosted ABC's 'All My Children', Netflix shoots, and Playboy studios, and once served as a Capitol Records vault — are retooling themselves as creator campuses to adapt to the changing market.
