Both Trump and the White House came back on Monday, the idea that tariffs will certainly be adopted.

Costs for films and television series made in the US are reduced. But all major American film companies make movies abroad, complicating the questions of how the tariff for such films will be applied and who will benefit.

“Other key factors include creative solutions, infrastructure and a local crew,” the company said. “Our tracking shows that the United States is observing a decrease in the absolute number and market share, indicating that the productions are moving to other countries, including Australia (New Zealand), among other centers with attractive stimuli.”

PRODPO noted that currency exchange rates “also do not represent the US based in the US, given the US dollar strength compared to other markets.”
