History

Historical Context

In 1998 Fox Studios Australia opened on the former Sydney Showground at Moore Park, converting the historic Easter Show site into a modern film precinct. The studio’s success attracted overseas productions, establishing Sydney as a major filming hub. Netflix’s Extraction 3 shoot follows that model, adding new jobs and investment to New South Wales.
