If it goes into effect, a controversial anti-gay bill may spell trouble for Georgia as entertainment companies voice their opposition.
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 Governor Nathan Deal. Other large media companies have voiced their opposition to the bill (but didn't threaten boycott the state), including Viacom, Time Warner, Starz, and AMC.
The Free Exercise Protection Act, as the bill is called, would allow religious clergy and faith-based organizations the right to reject performing gay marriages and providing "social, educational, or charitable services," as well as the right to refuse employment of those who violate their religious beliefs.
Passed by the Georgia legislature and sent to Governor Deal, the bill will become law if Deal signs it or does nothing before the May 3 deadline arrives.
Over the past decade, Georgia has become a hotbed for Hollywood productions due to its abundance of tax credits for TV and film productions in the state. It is the fourth largest state for film production in the United States.
According to TheWrap, entertainment productions generated nearly a billion dollars of revenue in one year for The Peach State. One Georgia Tech economics professor said it would be "disastrous" for the state if the bill goes through and Disney pulls its productions.
Here's a look at the TV shows and films that may be affected if Georgia's anti-gay bill goes into effect:
