BREAKING: China is to ban the import of US films into China, in response to US tariffs, per Xinhua.
What does this mean for movies? For theaters?
Smaller budgets, longer time in theaters?

BREAKING: China is to ban the import of US films into China, in response to US tariffs, per Xinhua
Films will now be produced in Canada
God I hope they commit. Studios have been using foreign markets as a crutch to shore up shit films for far too long.
So this is how they remove Minecraft movie so Ne Zha 2 can still more money.
They’ll focus on the indian market instead.
No more fucking awkwafina movies. Thank you Trump.
i thought china hated modern american films because they have too many black people.
That's just posturing. They paid out the ass for the sequel trilogy.
We don't need China.
Finally we can have as many gay and black protagonists as we want
Interesting since entertainment (like movies) is one of the few things America makes money from globally and China is one of the largest markets
Hollywood's just going to pander to India instead.
nothing much. china has been pretty restrictive for hollywood movies for years.
I guess there's one way to make South Park good again. Hope they don't fuck it up.
Wow, this will save Zack Snyder's career!
India doesn't want our movies, they have their own bollywood shit.
studios actually start focusing movies on English speaking audiences, instead of making every story as simple as possible so ESL audiences get it.
Thank you mr trump, very cool.
China absolutely loves mindless slop but hates current year pandering
hollywood is, albeit at a glacial pace, slowly moving back to prioritising slop over current year
Excellent timing.
Before they lost patience, China was always propping up absolutely dogshit movies
Good those pussies should actually do it. Japan should also ban the export of their video games and anime.
Oh no! This means we'll get less big budget blockbusterslop!
Anyways
Movies like Avatar really rely on China though. Industry people like Cameron and Cruise won’t be happy about this
English audiences are now considerably dumber than even just a decade or two ago
paramount $16 billion in debt
loses the chinese market on their $300 million production out next month
lmfao
It's brilliant, they should have done this in the early 2000s.
Holy shit Trump saved Hollywood
wokeslop is dead
cgislop will be dead
We are healing
That's a shame.
Fuck you Marvel, you thought you were gonna get away with more soulless slop? Not anymore bitch.
if they do this I will support a 1000 year trump dynasty
For reference the highest grossing movie this year so far is a Chinese animated film that made $2 billion in their country alone while the highest grossing American movie was the black Captain America flop. We need China a lot more than they need us.
He thanks Trump for Hollywood
He needs "more challenging" films
going after US services
based
This. China isn't like "catching up" to the U.S. They surpassed us years ago by a number of metrics. The U.S. news just doesn't publicize it. So sheeple think Captain America failed because he's black, not because moviegoers are broke because the U.S. doesn't make anything.
This is an objectively good thing because it means that Hollywood won't have to self-censor their own shit to pander to the chink market. But I guess it also means that Hollywood is now going to focus on pandering to the jeet market, which is bigger than the chink market.
Chinese IQs increase to new heights.
Don't worry, Netflix is still sending 500 million to the russo bros.
Does Cruise mind this? He used the twainese flag in top gun Maverick, I remember that being an international incident
pandering to the jeet market
They think Americans are lazy idiots. They come here with heavy accents and within a few years can afford nice homes and nice cars. You reveal a lot when you say "they'll just fall for a little pandering." Indians aren't stupid like you are.
enjoy the last reason they had for going 1000% gigapozzed being removed
Not happening. It's worth a lot of money and is a big soft power weapon. Without anime, China would go from "We should maybe fight Japan." to "We must genocide everyone in Japan."
that maybe true about indians in america but the indians that are in india are there because they're too dumb to go somewhere nicer
additionally, you sar reveal a lot when you say "You reveal a lot", one thing being your skin is the color of my poop.
leftists ban their own fifth column propaganda arm
Sun is shining brighter everyday.
Hmm. There are Indians right now running power plants, trading stocks, performing surgery. You're shitposting about how they're dumb and what color Harry Potter should be. Just for clarification.
unless they start to make actually good movies, Hollywood is now done for
mfw this timeline
Hollywood has already decided they’re never going to make anything other than IP slop until the end of time. The fact that the shitty Minecraft movie is like the only successful American movie this year so far just reinforces that
Yeah, that’s why I’m cooming
poltroons unironically think jeets know or care that much about Hollywood slop
Watching the United Shitholes of turdmerica collapse in real time brings me great joy.
Thanks Trump.
i thought china hated modern american films because they have too many black people.
The Chinese business people have no inherent problem with blacks, because they see blacks as a tool to be exploited like anything else. It's the general public consumer market in China that doesn't like them. So you create a situation where Chinese investors know to push blacks and DEI/SJW shit in movies they invest in because it actively harms the social fabric of America and the West, and then they just scrub that stuff out for their own market. That way, they get all of the benefits of harming their enemies, and they get the profit from selling American films to Chinese people, minus the woke shit and the blacks.
Thank YOU, sir, for your contribution to the destruction of the Great Satan.
Celebrity will be paid less
No woke pander anymore
Absolute win
Gm
I’m sure everyone in Hollywood will suddenly become talented and produce good movies again.
No one is even implying that.
USA movies are full of Niggers Gays and Ugly Women they dont lose anything
No one here is saying they are losing anything.
But I’m gay for bbc and love non threatening ugly women
Trump rapes China
"FUCKA YEW WE GONNA KIRR HORRYWOOD"
Uhh.. Thanks?
What the fuck is with his(her?) eyes, one is wonky LOL
This. Americans literally can't stop winning
Bingo
PLEASE! NO MORE WINNING! MY DICK CAN ONLY GET SO HARD!
Based. Fuck jewllywood. I hope it burns to the ground.
Go woke, go broke
...and nothing of value was lost
I also do more challenging math problems than you
The films have nigs and fags because of Chinese investors. Cutting that off means hollykike has to start appealing to regular people again
Daily reminder that Chinese already take 75% of the ticket price. It's 50% everywhere else
Everyone hates orcs.
Everyone hates orcs in movies.
Go woke, go broke
Even with that markup, there's still so many fucking bugmen than consoom that they still make a hefty profit. Hollywood was focusing on China for a reason
more white people and less browns in movies then, works for me
Mexico folded
The EU folded
Asia folded
You will bend the knee chink. It is inevitable
one of the biggest investors in Grindr (the gay dating app, for the uncultured) was a Chinese investor and the app even remained unbanned there until 2022
He says while Blumpf flip flops on tarriffs
she did the brow lift surgery
asia folded
OP is literally about china doing anything but that
She was human looking in 2014.
How did she mutate into a frog within a decade?
China hasn't been a very big market for Hollywood movies since COVID. There's been a big push towards local films and other Asian countries. Minecraft, which had one of the bigger Hollywood openings in China in a while, grossed a whopping $14 million in its first weekend over there. It grossed $157 million during that same period in the U.S. and WBD doesn't have to share most of the gross with the government either.
Realize that socially conservative countries like China also acted as a poz filter.
plastic surgery
self-censor
What exactly do you think they were censoring?
Well that was a fucking mistake.
literally nothing, when movies are localized for chinese audiences they are selectively edited to remove stuff that might be offensive. I assume no real concern is given to the Chinese market in the film making process and it's all post-hoc
based china, I hope they fucking nuke everyone. I'm sick of jews and indians
India's a terrible country to pander to. Yes, huge population, but poor as shit. Avatar 2 is the highest grossing foreign film in India. It grossed the equivalent of $56 million USD. Indian colonial states like Australia, Canada and the UK are more profitable.
Asia is more than just china
