That's not necessarily different from now. I spent a decent amount of time in Sao Paulo, Brazil since I'm dating somebody from there - and the prices for most media there are a lot lower than in the US, even pre-tariff. It makes sense - in a country where a lot of people make the minimum wage of $300/month, asking people to spend $20 to rent a new release movie is just going to result in a lot of piracy. Asking people to spend $1-4 to rent it will result in a lot less piracy and a lot more people paying to see your film. Basically, do you want 100% of $2 or do you want 100% of $0. So - movie rental is already a sliding scale price-wise, depending on the country/region - presumably based on some inflection point, real or perceived, where people will either just bootleg or not watch it at all. -
This is a great idea, in principle. Problem is the market will be severely reduced if you leave out USA consumers, the biggest and most important group of buyers out there. And even if you let them access your movie, someone in India will pay $6.99, for example, while a viewer in the USA $13.98, if the tariff comes through. That's a huge disincentive. Other than Japan, China, and India which have had strong internal media markets for decades, I don't see any country surviving this, not even the UK.
