My guess is that it'll be good news for some of these places that need something pretty desperately.

It likely be on par with the visits to the Titanic graves in Nova Scotia when the movie came out in 1997. There were flowers and teddy bears placed on grave 227 for years, maybe it still happens, just because the marker says J. Dawson.

It was something to see, I'd never heard of movie tourism like this but it sure didn't hurt the local economy.
