Mark Stelhi posted video of star Sidney Sweeney on Wednesday, noting that the city benefits financially from permit and other fees.

On Wednesday around 1:30 p.m., Patch spotted the crew still filming at The Hive on 10th Street and Park Avenue.

"The Hoboken City Council adopted amendments to the City's film ordinance proposed by the Division of Cultural Affairs earlier this year," noted city spokeswoman Marilyn Baer on Wednesday. "The amendments, which increased certain fees, maintain the City's desirability as a location for movie shoots while making the City more competitive with its peers.
This film has paid the city roughly $22,000 for permits and temporary no parking signs."
