Disney and other companies are threatening a boycott over Georgia's anti-gay bill - here are the shows and movies that film in the state
Disney, including its movie subsidiary Marvel and ABC Studios, and The Weinstein Company threatened to boycott the state if the bill is signed into law by Gov. Nathan Deal. Other large media companies have voiced their opposition to the bill (but didn't threaten to boycott the state), including Viacom, Time Warner, Starz, and AMC.
