In a bold move, US President Donald Trump has announced a 100% tariff on all foreign-made films, claiming America’s movie industry has been “stolen like candy from a baby.” The decision could severely impact international box office revenue, particularly for Indian cinema, which relies on the US for 35–40% of its overseas earnings. Experts warn ticket prices and distribution costs could double, putting smaller and mid-budget productions at risk. Trump has appointed Hollywood veterans Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone, and Mel Gibson to help revive the domestic film industry with new tax incentives and protections.
