While many Hollywood movies are filmed on sets or lots at a film studio, sometimes they take to the streets and shoot right in the middle of the country's biggest cities. To learn more about this, American Home Shield ran a study to determine which streets are the most filmed in major US cities. They analyzed shooting location data from IMDb to find their results. The full research can be found at this link.
In addition to determining the most filmed street in 88 different major American cities, they also found that nine of the ten most filmed streets in the US are in New York City or Los Angeles. In fact, the second-most filmed street in the entire country doesn't make this list because it is also just the second-most filmed street in its own city. Sunset Boulevard has 64 credits on IMDb, but that number is dwarfed by the 133 credits that Hollywood Boulevard has.
Without further ado, these are the ten most filmed streets in major US cities. They are ranked in order of credits on IMDb, and only one street from each city is included.
