Akron is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 productions, in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
1 production was filmed at 1 place inside Akron rather than at Akron itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Akron as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Movies filmed elsewhere in Akron
1 production shot at 1 place inside Akron, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Akron itself.
- White Noise University of Akron per Wikipedia 2022
Named here by Akron’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Akron, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
