Hollywood owes its historical hegemony over the rest of world cinema to various factors, but for its own rise the most important were mainly two. One is large number of sunny days per year in Southern California, which allowed much cheaper and faster productions. Another is geographic diversity, which allowed Hollywood studios to have desert, forest, mountain, sea and "regular" locations around.

With sufficient levels of AI or digital video technologies both advantages become irrelevant and anyone can create Hollywood in their back yard.
