Big winners include the Stephen King adaptation “Salem’s Lot” ($13.5M) and the crime drama “Boston Strangler” ($11M), both filmed before the data hit. While Emmy-winning “Widow’s Bay” may not yet show its full credit impact, state numbers are preliminary and could climb. Officials aim to lure more shoots by making the program permanent and removing caps, hoping to boost local jobs — though critics question cost efficiency, citing up to $100K per job. New rules under discussion include mandatory shout-outs to Massachusetts and extended payroll credit windows. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
