Chicago metropolitan area 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.
“Although Chicagoland and Knoxville, Tennessee are mentioned in the film, it was mostly filmed in South Florida, including Belle Glade and Boca Raton in Palm Beach County, and the Dolphin Mall in Sweetwater near Miami from 2007 to 2008.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Chicago metropolitan area 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.
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Chicago metropolitan area, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
