We've been compensated by production crews twice in Arizona. Both times were highly lucrative, both times were for more money and less disruption. (They wanted to park equipment in front of our house, and plug some stuff into our house power.) There's definitely some creative maneuvering, but it seems like a lowball offer to me. And of course, there's no guarantee that the movie will ever even be released, so the free advertising value is not a done deal.

It happens. We had no notice when we were staying at an AirBnB on 18th between 1st and 2nd. One morning we woke up and the whole street was lined with tents and people. Woody Allen was shooting a film there.
We didn't mind.

The biggest issue for me, when I've encountered that, is the parking.
They filmed big parts of the movie Labor Day at a house that was on my daily flight path in Massachusetts. What was particularly irritating was the police stopping traffic from passing for 15-30 minutes at a time so the movie wouldn't be interrupted.
