State reimburses ‘Public Enemies’ for nearly every dollar spent here

When the “Public Enemies” production blew out of town last year, state taxpayers gave the movie company back almost every penny it had invested in Wisconsin, according to the state Department of Commerce.

NBC Universal received $4.6 million in incentives from state taxpayers for the Johnny Depp film about 1930s gangster John Dillinger. That eats up almost all of the estimated $5 million the film company spent in Wisconsin, according to Zach Brandon, the No. 3 official at the Commerce Department.

“It’s a wash,” he said.
