Phoenixville 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.
“The "G" Lodge, a diner in Phoenixville off PA 23, was featured in a scene in the 2008 thriller film The Happening, starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, who was raised in neighboring Montgomery County.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Phoenixville 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.

The Lovely Bones
2009
“Shooting in parts of Delaware, Chester and Montgomery counties, including Hatfield, Ridley Township, Phoenixville, Royersford, Malvern and East Fallowfield, lasted a few weeks.” Wikipedia
-
The Blob
1958
“Several scenes were filmed in the towns of Chester Springs, Downingtown, Phoenixville and Royersford, including the basement of a local restaurant that is currently named Downingtown Diner.” Wikipedia
Named here by Phoenixville’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Phoenixville, 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.

The Blob 1958
“The Colonial is celebrated for being the location of a scene in the 1958 science fiction horror film The Blob.” Wikipedia
