is this real? i don’t get how this would even work. physical goods use supply chains, transportation companies, and cross borders at physical places with inspectors.
movies are like digitally distributed… so, is this like some tax added for licensing distribution rights in the US?
idk how it could possibly work for streaming (other than rental/purchases) but they could just do a sales tax instead on foreign films shown in theaters or sold in physical form. have the theaters and distributors pay it and pass the extra to consumers instead.
I guess you would apply the tariff on the company that buys distribution rights for broadcast or theatrical release in the former USA. Which would make it near impossible to release a foreign-produced film in there.
The intent wouldn’t be to actually collect the tariffs, it would be to stop US filmmakers from filming outside the USA.
This would devastate the US film industry… so many great shows just wouldn’t be made if they couldn’t save money filming elsewhere. Even if they could all afford it, there simply isn’t enough production capacity in the former USA if all those productions returned home tomorrow.
if the last decade has taught me anything, you can film any scene as a stand-in for any exotic locale in the state of Georgia.
as long as the scene calls for a fancy, upscale suburb, a 19 century traditionalist country farm house, or a post-apocalyptic wasteland with thousands of screaming cannibals.

(whether or not it will actually reflect policy is another matter entirely)
