Hollywood itself imo is what is killing the movie industry here. There are efforts from other media companies to open up studios both here and abroad, likely to produce content to be consumed by Americans. (it's a large market) I don't really agree with a movie say, being filmed in another country being tariffed though. (think about Lord of the Rings, most of it was filmed in NZ for the setting backdrop.)
Years ago Trump had a plan to open a new movie centre in a different state. Anyone remember which state was it? I was trying to find a link and post here as a context but can’t recall.
The Movie Industry is dying everywhere. Trying to shoot a film with lower costs and tax credits is out of survival necessity. What about location specific Movies? How do you assess the value of the Tariff. Films are sold by territory.
This still doesn't solve the non-stop woke messaging in every single movie right now. That is still coming out of Hollyweird.

There is evidence to suggest that Studios are beginning to realize that people aren't buying what they are selling:

We have bigger fish to fry.
Unless he is talking about "you are watching a MOVIE" a movie made in the USA??
