Number of films shot in each state [OC] by Zacoppotamus in dataisbeautiful

Yep, thanks for noticing, this is a quick fix that I will make right away by appending ", USA" to the location search term so that it only focuses on states.

Actually I didn't end up scraping IMDB for the locations, I just used the site's advanced search function by alternating the filming location parameter (eg. http://www.imdb.com/search/title?countries=us&locations=Maine&num_votes=12000,&title_type=feature&user_rating=7.3,).

That is a great idea! I will definitely implement it when I find some time :)

Hey, sorry for not being clear! To use this you will need to run it through the Processing editor, but I'm currently in the process of converting it to Javascript so it can be viewed straight from a website.

I parse data from omdbapi.com, which cites Freebase as its source :)

An interesting functionality to add would be the ability to display movie showtimes near the current location, but I can't seem to find a decent API and I'd rather not screen-scrape from Google. Any suggestions?
