What did Trump announce?
“The film industry in America is dying very quickly,” Trump wrote in the post on his social platform of the truth. He added that other countries offer “all types of incentives” to drive the filmmakers and studies from the United States.
“This is the harmonized effort of other nations and, therefore, the threat of national security,” Trump wrote.
Trump also described foreign movies as “messaging messages and propaganda”.
He concluded his post by saying that he authorized the Ministry of Trade and the US Trade Representative “to immediately begin the process” of 100 percent tariffs on films “produced in foreign countries.”
A white house that returns appeared on Monday. “Although the final decisions on foreign film tariffs, the administration investigates all the possibilities to deliver the President Trump’s Directive to protect the national and the economic security of our country,” Kush Desai spokesperson.
What counted as a foreign movie?
It is one of the many questions that appeared from the Trump threat.
As with most things, movies in a globalized world rarely rely on resources from only one country: Hollywood Films, for example, may have American financial backer, but could be shot in other countries, with actors and crew from different parts of the world.
For example, one of the main Hollywood films from 2024. He was filmed in Sky Studios Elstree in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, in the UK.
Parts of Barbie Greta Gerwig, published 2023. years, Warner Brothers studied in Listoveden, Hertfordshire in the UK. Barbie’s California-Esque Dreamhouse was actually built in the share in the UK.

Many American films last year were filmed and partially or completely in Australia, including autumn guy, a movie film comedy who starring Ryan Gosling and the Kingdom of the Monkey Planet. The Federal Government of Australia offers incentives for large film projects in Australia, including a 30-percent rebate under the offset location scheme. New Zealand offers similar incentive taxes.
Published in the same year, the American Gothic horror film nosferat was filmed in Prague, Czech Republic. American films were also recorded in New Zealand, Spain and Germany, among other things.
On the flip side, many of the non-US films were recorded at least partly in the US. Successful Bollywood movies in the last two decades used Brooklyn Bridge, Miami’s beaches and Chicago neighborhoods as plots for plots moving from romantic comedies in robberies – adding an attraction of American cities for Indian tourists. It is unclear whether such films – which bring the US revenue – classified as “foreign” movies.
How many side movies rely on now as market?
Indian films create a significant income from the market abroad. Film for 2016. year, Biobi-famous wrestling nurses, Geeta Phogat and Babita Phogat, generated about 12.4 million dollars from the US and Canada, according to the Box Office India.
Indian films gross about $ 100 million in the USA in the USA, Shibasish Sarkar, President of the Celebration of India, told Journalists (PTI) on Monday. “The diaspora market, which is the price sensitive, has become a source of income for Indian films,” said the film vinek Agnihotra said PTI. Sarkar and aggans speculate that tick costs would increase if tariffs are applied. “I don’t think anyone would look at them in theaters, especially when the movies will be available on Netflix, Amazon, etc.,” Agnihotri said.
The United States is home to 5.4 million people of Indian origin, the largest Indian population of the diaspora in the world.
But these are not only Indian films that significantly earn in the US. Paddington in Peru, Film 2024, which is part of the Franchise in the UK, turning around Paddington, anthropomorphic bear, earned more than $ 45 million in the USA.
Movies from South Korea also like it well in American markets. In April this year, the animated film King Kings, directed by Seong Ho Yang, earned $ 54.7 million at the cash register, surpassing award-winning parasite Bong Joon-Ho 2019, generated 53.8 million dollars in the USA. These are the most important South Korean films in the US. But the king of the kings is the film of the English language, in which he plays large Hollywood names such as Oscar Isaac. The parasite is Korean.
On the other hand, films from countries like China barely rely on American viewed – with a language that still failed to overcome the barrier.
In February this year, the Chinese Animated Film No Zha 2 became the highest animated film in history, making $ 1.9 billion from almost 80,000 screens four weeks after release, according to the Chinese platform Maoyan. More than 99 percent of the Mandarin Language Film’s First Office Income came from Kondenski Porcelan. Yolo, Chinese Comedy Superhit since 2024. year, he earned only $ 2 million in the US, despite the fact that he was 14. A film about the highest breasts on a global scale, according to IMDB’s box Mojo.
How did other countries react to Trump threat?

“There is too much uncertainty, and this latest move raises more questions than answers,” said an analyst in PP Foresight Paolo Pescator Reuters News Agency. “It doesn’t feel like something that will happen in a short time because everyone will collect themselves to understand the whole process. There will be inevitably transferred to consumer costs.”
Is Hollywood ‘Dying’ like Trump said?
In recent years, Hollywood faced several stalls, including Pandemic Covid-19.
Last year, Hollywood Studios was built globally about $ 30 billion, towards about 7 percent of 2023. years, according to Gower Street Analytics. Despite last year’s performance, it will be better in terms of revenue from 2020, 2021. and 2022, there was still about 20 percent under average before the pandemic.
