Of course the proposal is not easy to understand. If it is a Jason Bourne movie, do they add up the number of scenes shot abroad and consider those as a percentage of the entire movie? Does one scene shot abroad invoke the entire tariff? o3 guesstimates that about half of major Hollywood releases are shot abroad to a significant degree, with many more having particular scenes shot abroad.

Assuming the movie would have been made anyway, most of the tax burden falls on the producer, not the American consumer, because the marginal cost of sending the extra units of the film to America is low. Nonetheless lower American revenue will force those films onto lower budgets. Possibly Canadian and also English movies will suffer the most, because they are most likely to have the U.S. as their dominant market.

Of course the U.S: is by far the world’s number one exporter of movies, so we are vulnerable to retaliation on this issue, to say the least.
