Coronado is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 8 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.
7 productions were filmed at 2 places inside Coronado rather than at Coronado itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.
“Many scenes were shot at the Hotel del Coronado in Coronado, California, which appeared as the "Seminole Ritz Hotel" in Miami in the film, as it fit into the era of the 1920s and was near Hollywood.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Coronado 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.

Named here by Coronado’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Coronado, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it.
