This is going to go over REAL well in Hollywood. Not to mention that most box-office receipts for Hollywood movies seen in theatres come from overseas markets-- China in particular, so much so that PRC has effective vetoes on content, casting etc. I hope Chump doesn't imagine they aren't going to retaliate. Expect a wholesale explosion in content piracy.

The "indie" film industry in the US may get a boost from this on the margins (some audiences who remain adamant about viewing movies in theatres may prefer to watch indie films shot entirely in the United States rather than a pay a tariff premium on mainstream blockbuster-type movies largely produced elsewhere). However, of the people who either work in the "indie" film industry or who watch its output, not even an infinitesimal fraction could be convinced to vote for Chump under any circumstances :mrgreen:
