The University of East Anglia s Sainsbury Centre was transformed into the headquarters of Marvel s superhero team The Avengers, while the showdown of Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa was shot on Cromer Pier.
But council bosses believe there is still untapped potential for the county to benefit further from the economic boosts which movie-making can bring.

A student chased a burglar out of his flat after waking to find the raider at the bottom of the bed he and his partner were sleeping in.
Joel Lawrence, 48, who has 57 previous convictions for 146 offences - including 19 burglaries - got into a flat in Mandells Court, near Elm Hill, Norwich through an unlocked door.
Norwich Crown Court heard a young couple were awoken by a noise and “saw a figure at the end of the bed”.
Ian James, prosecuting, said: It must’ve been extremely frightening.

The former Panda and Taphouse bar in Redwell Street was taken on by Jon Hook in January 2020 before Covid struck. Mr Hook, who runs Norwich Accountancy Services, urged people to support his new venture.
But he said he had pulled out because the building, over three floors, needed considerably more work than first anticipated.
He said he managed to drive down the crippling business rates - blamed for Panda s closure in 2019 - from around £60,000 a year to £40,000. He was also attempting to get a bigger reduction and successfully gained a licence from the city council after having to reapply last year.
