Hollywood film financiers, distributors, producers and even stars are becoming increasingly worried as the administration of US President Donald Trump rachets up the rhetoric amid an expanding trade war that could shut America out of the massive Chinese cinema marketplace.
According to a report in Variety, China has warned American tech giants of “dire consequences” should they obey Trump’s new proposed ban of selling the country 5G technology.
“This is a pretty insane moment to be in,” said Jesse Sisgold, president of Skydance Media, whose blockbuster franchises like “Mission: Impossible” and “Terminator” are reliant on China, the second-largest film market in the world, the report said.
The feeling was echoed by, Mark Gill, an indie producer behind films like “Shakespeare in Love,” who serves as president and CEO of Solstice Studios.
“We need to get past this phase where our government is putting up walls against each other — to nobody’s benefit,” said Gill. “It’s impossible to think about doing things without China.”
Gill fired off some impressive statistics about cinematic demand in China, estimating that moviegoers will continue to grow at a rate of 15% per year, far in excess of that in the rest of the world. In addition to being the world’s second-largest film market, China also accounts for 60% of the world’s video on demand subscribers, according to research published by Ampere Analysis.
If restrictions on US content are severe enough to reduce the number of films playing theatrically, Variety reported, China’s film regulators may turn elsewhere. Two of the most obvious sources of foreign content are the U.K. and Australia.
“We’re at a low point,” concluded Gill. “It will get better.”

In this grand scheme of things you’ll secure a B- for effort and hard work. Exactly where you actually confused me was first on the facts. As people say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more accurate at this point. Having said that, let me say to you just what exactly did give good results. Your text can be pretty convincing and that is most likely why I am making the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, although I can easily notice the jumps in reasoning you make, I am not necessarily confident of exactly how you seem to connect the points which inturn produce your final result. For right now I will, no doubt subscribe to your point but hope in the future you actually connect your dots much better.
You really make it seem so easy together with your presentation however I find this topic to be really one thing that I feel I would by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and very huge for me. I’m having a look forward on your next publish, I will try to get the hang of it!
Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
