The government will decide which films are not American made, and 50% of the ticket price for these films will go to the federal government, which is essentially a clever way to make the poor and middle class pay for billionaire tax cuts, defense spending, and Middle East peace plans.
who is even watching movies made after 2010?

>>517642983Sorry we are going to tax tranny nonsense.
good riddance
>>517642983I remember watching an interview with Rob Lowe and he was complaining that it would cost more for a film production to shoot in a building across the street from a studio lot in LA than it would to fly everyone to Ireland and shoot there, California has a billion regulations and everything costs money since everyone wants their pound of flesh.
>>517642983Start hoarding all the anime DVDs and Blu-rays you weebs.
>>517643275>the new marvel slop just dropped
>>517642983So how's this shit supposed to work for streaming services? Seems retarded to tariff something that can be digitally distributed.
How do you tariff a movie?
>>517644451Doubling the price of DVD/Blu rays I guess.For movie theaters, I don't know how it works when it comes to obtaining the film itself to use but it certainly wouldn't be doubling the ticket price.Streaming/online services? Can't do that, at least from what I know since they aren't importing anything. Plus you don't pay for the individual movie itself, just the sub fee for the service.
>>517642983>and 50% of the ticket price for these films will go to the federal government*israel
>>517642983It will be based on filming location. If you believe US government has the right to decide if Canada is part of USA then I suppose you are technically right though.>>517644337If something isn't given out for free then it can be taxed. Movie studios sell rights to streaming services and streaming services sell you the movies. All of that is already taxed.
>>517643517yep, this is correct and all of the pedowood movie production companies are creating their slop outside of the US soil. i don't know how is that tariff idea gonna work.>>517643611pirating is the answer for sure, but new generations are not even interested in peer2peer protocol.>>517644337it is 100% of tariffs which means if you are paying for streaming services like prime video, you will pay the double price for some european movie, if my assumption is correct.
>>517644827even lotr wasn't produced at the US soil...https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120737/locations/
>>517644827Right but a tariff is an import tax. Netflix buys the rights to host a movie on their platform, since it's digital there's no importing done and even if they force the tariff then what the fuck is meant to be tariffed? It's a subscription service, you can't tariff the individual movie itself, you'd have to double the subscription fee which would be retarded. Unless they just make a 'US only' Netflix and a 'Everything else' Netflix which would be just as retarded.>>517644860You'd still be paying double for any US based production too which defeats the purpose of the tariff. You can't tariff digital goods.
>>517642983pay the Lord of the Rings tax, seppos
>>517643462Wouldn't it be amazing if you could shut down Hollywood by refusing a vaccine? Damn that's a plotline I'd watch
>government owned and operated by pedophilic jews>"you know what i should do? Make movie tickets more expensive!"Jesus this man is doing EVERYTHING but releasing the Epstein files.
>>517644929Yes and? Lotr was filmed in New Zealand instead of I dunno Montana with it's similar sweeping plains and mountain valleys because of New Zealand tax incentives for filming movies, which is what tariffs on foreign movies counters. >>517644980>since it's digital there's no importing doneYou don't seem to know what import or a tariff is.>you can't tariff the individual movie itselfOf course you can, but in reality the tariff will just be baked into the price of the subscription because it's easier that way.
>>517644980how if i don't watch anything what comes out from the US. those films are boring, woke and gay propaganda with usual happy endings and every story is the same with different cast, i don't have any regrets to be blocked out from the hollywood movies.
>>517645128i don't know man, i am only making assumptions how is that gonna work and if i am correct, every single movie in the near future will be produced in front of the studio green screen instead of the desired appropriate locations.
>>517644625>Streaming/online services? Can't do that, at least from what I know since they aren't importing anythingBuddy they'll just raise the subscription price anyways. They have no reason not to. Disney+ lost 1.5million subscribers after the kimmel backlash so they just upped everybody else's subscription by another $2 USD That's the same thing with these international movies. A streaming service will start to charge more because of their international catalog. Netflix isn't getting rid of squid games lmao. If anything the streaming services probably requested this tariff as an excuse to jack up subscription prices. I can see them now start itemizing content out of your base package because of tariffs as an excuse. "Foreign films cost $7 dollars extra a month", that'll be it tomorrow. Then next year you'll find that you have to add an R rated movie package for another $8 dollars and verify your photo ID upon purchase with Rajesh from India.
>>517642983for once, he's wrong. no one is stealing american movies or the film industry, american movies are just universally shit and no one wants to watch them.even fucking netflix figured it out and started hosting foreign shows and movies because no one wants to watch liberal agenda nonsense anymore.
>>517645128>but in reality the tariff will just be baked into the price of the subscription because it's easier that way.Right, so you'd still be paying the tax on movies or TV shows produced in the US regardless since there's no distinction in the streaming service. Which I will say again, defeats the purpose of the tariff. Unless a US specific streaming service pops up then film/TV producers have no incentive to film locally because it's gonna cost the same anyway.
hes scared of newsom got him shook
>>517645210Eh, I don't really see them requesting the tariff on purpose. If anything the price hikes would most likely be because of license fuckery since it's pretty lucrative money these days. They don't need a tariff to hike their prices but this certainly won't help them either since they have no choice in the matter. If Trump wanted domestic film production again just do something about the laws in your country for fucks sake.
>>517642983how will this affect my crunchyroll subscription price, I need my romcom harem anime to avoid becoming an hero
>>517645208USA is one of the largest countries on the planet, if you can't find a "location" there but conveniently just happen to find a "location" in a place where there's tax incentives to filming movies then you probably should be slapped with a tariff. If you are doing a film that specifically requires a specific location for story purposes like I dunno the Eiffel tower then you probably have the ability to pay the tariff as well. >>517645261>since there's no distinction in the streaming service.Why wouldn't there be? The streaming servives that import lot will be more expensive and customers will switch to the cheaper ones. The movies that are foreign will cost more to the streaming services so they don't buy them and instead buy domestic productions. Both of those financially incentivize customers, the streaming services and the studios to film in USA.
>>517642983>oy vey no one wants to watch our Hollywood slop anymoreorange rabbiorange pedophileorange turd
>>517645493The tariff is specifically about Hollywood who do filming in foreign countries that subsidize their film industries.
>>517645439Well that all depends really. With a 100% tariff on subscription prices it still might be more worth it to just have the user eat the price in the end because filming in the US is even more costly for productions. Streaming services are fucking expensive to start up, maintain and not to mention acquiring all the rights and licenses to air movies and TV shows made in America.
>>517645365It's less about having a reason to hike prices but an excuse that will ragebait or placate the masses elsewhere. Streaming services are starting to act a lot like cable in the late 90s when people started cutting cords. It's one thing to start piecemealing your content library like cable channel packages on a whim, but when you can just blame the state of the world the masses get a bit less angry.
>>517645608>it still might be more worth it to just have the user eat the price in the end because filming in the US is even more costly for productionsThat's an argument that the tariff just isn't big enough which certainly is an argument you can make.
>>517645579>any and all movies that are made outside of the United Statesstop being an orange pedo apologist
>>517645633Yeah, people are definitely sick of streaming services basically being cable channels now, especially with tiered subscription pricing. Any further splitting into US/Foreign services won't help at all.>>517645653The solution is obvious really. Production companies film here in Australia because we offer them really good tax breaks and other benefits. If you want companies to film back home then make it an attractive option.
>>517645365Movie theatres purchase film hard drives, or in the certain cases full copies of film reel.Streaming sites purchase a licences to the movie from the studios, so they'll put the tarrif on that.
>>517645813You have to understand that while anime movies may be big hit they do not generate many jobs which is the part that matters for tariffs. Demon Slayer was made with 15 million. Ne Zha 2 was made with 80 million. Moving the production of these into USA would not move the needle what so ever. Meanwhile Hollywood regularly spends 10 times as much money to film in Canada or Scotland or where ever else, which is real money out of US economy for no real reason.You are confusing box office with budget. Budget is what matters of Tariffs not box office. It doesn't matter if no one watches the latest Marvel slop, what matters is that it costs them 500 million to make and all of that went to Scotland because they filmed there for tax benefit reasons. That is the thing that the Tariff aims to stop. >>517645817>If you want companies to film back home then make it an attractive option.Which is what a tariff is. They can film in Australia for tax reasons if they want, they just have to hand over the extra money they got to film in Australia as a compensation.
>>517646072>which is real money out of US economy for no real reason.So? That's a part of global trade. You pay other people for something when they have something you want, and they pay you for something if you have something they want. If you don't like that you can become a closed economy like North Korea.
>>517646072that's all great and everything but how are they gonna shoot genre of the documentary movie than? seems like you've been focused only on the regular slop and nothing else.
>>517646980Yes and when some countries hand over hundreds of millions of dollars for a film to film there US government can just as easily add a tariff that punishes the countries doing that. It's part of global trade.>>517647146By paying the tariff. Slop represents vast majority of film spending so obviously that's where the focus will be. Tariffs exist precisely so if you need to do something, you can you just then pay up what you own for choosing to film in a country that offers subsidies instead of USA. If that makes it unprofitable to do a documentary in New Zealand then that's the intended effect of the tariff.
>>517644275You mean the one where the evil guy is trying to destroy the world and all the superheroes say shit and fight and you don't even know what the hell's going on because there's 50 billion things going on at once, and even when the superheroes fight you don't even know why they are half the time
>>517642983>let's just outright kill already struggling movie theaters
>>517642983Americans should, unironically, not care about foreign films. They should not care about cinema in general since it is all about propaganda and subversion but the people are not quite there yet.
>>517644275even this is over now.the most pathetic era of jewllywood history is a golden age compared to now.
>>517646072>because they filmed there for tax benefit reasons. That is the thing that the Tariff aims to stop.this is really the end of globalism then, isn't it?
>>517643275a lot of non-american stuff is pretty good, like russian, polish, korean etc. but anything from hollywood gets an automatic boycot because of how kiked all their products are.
