A while back I met a woman who worked as an on location accountant for
a movie production company.  As she put it, movies shot on location
"hemorrhage money".  Everyone who claims to be inconvenienced by the
shoot gets paid off.  Homeless people who say, "hey, that's my usual
spot!" get paid off.  

Of course, if the neighbors don't cooperate, the production companies
may stop shooting in Philadelphia.  If nothing else, they are paying
wage tax and sales tax, so they are bringing money into the city.
