From published sources

Productions a newspaper, a film office, a broadcaster or the production itself says were filmed at Phoenix, where no wiki records it. Each sentence below was found on its page and read before it was added, and its publisher is linked beside it.

Jerry Maguire 1996
“Shot in four months on more than 70 locations in the Los Angeles area, as well as Tempe and Phoenix, Arizona, the film was a happy challenge for the main talent behind-the-camera as well as the actors.” The Uncool, the official Cameron Crowe site

Drawn from this place

Video games whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Phoenix as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
