Milwaukee is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 3 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.
2 places inside Milwaukee have a page of their own — listed below. Everything shot at them is already named above, recorded against Milwaukee as well.
“Two further locations announced were the Milwaukee Art Museum and the former Tower Automotive complex on Milwaukee's north side, then under redevelopment for mixed use also the city's equipment yard.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Milwaukee 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.

Filming locations inside Milwaukee
2 places inside Milwaukee, each with a page of their own. Every production shot at them is already listed above, because Wikidata records them against Milwaukee too.
Named here by Milwaukee’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Milwaukee, 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.

Bridesmaids 2011
“The 2011 comedy film Bridesmaids starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Rebel Wilson had multiple scenes set in Milwaukee, though it was filmed in California.” Wikipedia
