Film netted $14 million for Utah economy

The making of a film about the hiker who had to cut off his arm to get free from a rock snag in Utah's redrock desert contributed $14 million to the state's economy, the Utah Film Commission reported. A state incentive package helped convince producers from The Fox Spotlight to film in Utah. The state provided filmmakers with a post-performance tax credit worth $2.8 million. The Salt Lake Tribune
