        What exactly does Europe sell to USA that they NEED to sell for the film & tv production to happen?

          Apparently a lot of hard to replace stuff. Just after the recent trade agreement, which favours the US, a study came out that the US would do much worse if tariffs hampered trade the EU.

            I don’t get it, it’s not like companies will stop buying rights for good movies/tv shows because there’s tariffs on them, and they’re not buying bad content anyways. Movie tickets and streaming subscriptions will just become more expensive for US customers to compensate and that’s that, the same thing that happened to every other thing tariffs were applied to.

              Talking about production, not distribution or exhibition. US studios will have little incentive to produce in Britain if that film then becomes subject to tariffs.

                The production? There are very few European companies making films in the US, and this would encourage them to film in Europe, so still not sure how that is bad for Europe.

                US companies making films in EU are not importing anything, so tariffs don’t apply to them, and since it’s a US company they even hold the rights for the produced work so it doesn’t apply to that either.

                What am I missing?

                More incentive to local film industry?

                American movies are all about CGI and explosions, mostly, nowadays. I’ll take a low budged film with a good story and acting any day.

                  Local films are smaller, so don’t spend as much. More importantly, every hotel room, meal, plank of wood, hour of CG artist time, equipment rental, stage rental, truck, and unit of electricity is an export when foreign entities are paying the bills. Its great for the health of the economy.

                  There’s no way to replace the billions that would be lost, and hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost.

                    Hollywood has been an echo chamber for the war machine for decades, that is a given.
