Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Michigan Central Station 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.

- Transformers: The Last Knight 2017

The Island
2005
“The city parts were shot in Detroit, Michigan, with Michigan Central Station one of the notable locations.” Wikipedia
Named here by Michigan Central Station’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Michigan Central Station, 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.
