In a recent statement, Donald Trump reiterated his threat to impose a 100% tariff on films not made in the United States, claiming that the American film industry has been 'stolen' by foreign countries. He emphasized the negative impact on California's film sector and suggested that the tariff would address this ongoing issue. The proposal has raised significant concerns among industry experts and stakeholders, particularly in Canada, where many US films are produced. Analysts have pointed out the complexities of defining what constitutes an 'American-made' film, especially when considering foreign actors and funding. The potential for increased production costs could adversely affect demand for films, impacting streaming services and cinema operators. Despite the threat, investors appear unconcerned, as stock prices for major companies like Netflix and Disney briefly dipped before recovering. The US remains a key player in global film production, although spending has decreased significantly in recent years.
