Where was Mars Attacks! filmed?

1996 film directed by Tim Burton

Mars Attacks! (1996) was shot in Arizona, Kansas — and that is the whole of what Wikidata records. No street, no building, no studio: the statement names a country or a state and stops there.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

• The Landmark Hotel and Casino United States

  “The Landmark's implosion was filmed for use in director Tim Burton's 1996 film, Mars Attacks! In the film, the Landmark is portrayed as the fictional Galaxy Hotel, which is destroyed by an alien spaceship.” Wikipedia

Why there is no pin

A dot in the middle of Arizona would claim something nobody wrote, so this atlas leaves the statement as a sentence. The detail exists in the world — someone stood somewhere with a camera — it has simply never been written down as data. If you know where, it can be added to Wikidata, and this page fills in on the next rebuild.
