Right, wait till all other countries tariff US movies. Again it is another US thing is more expensive for the average human on Earth scenario. Good luck with that.



It's about the production of movies, not the distribution of movies. I don't think people in this thread are reading the article. The original title of this submission didn't help.


But you agree that EU should tariff any movie produced in US, right?


The "tariff" we're talking about here would be for where the labor comes from. If a EU film company is choosing to film in the US instead of at home for cost reasons, then sure they can put a tariff on that somehow to keep it local. I don't think that's happening in any meaningful way, but it is in the reverse to the detriment of thousands and thousands of local jobs in LA, ATL, NY, etc.
