The Georgia Department of Revenue doesn't publish how much the film tax credit costs the state. The Tax Foundation, however, writes that on average for every dollar a state spends in film credits, the state only receives back 19 cents.
So when Matthew McConaughy and his studio received the free handouts back in 2006, 81% of those credits never made it back into the state or 'paid for itself' as the politicians would tell you.
But hey, didn't Sonny look good on the big screen!
