Funny, though, if you look at TV, it would seem to be the opposite. For example, NCIS gets 20 million US viewers a week while ALMOST A MILLION each in Canada, Australia, and Europe watch it.
I wonder how much in taxes Hollywood pays. Guessing they already get a huge break releasing overseas, and then the anti-American films probably have to pay no taxes anywhere, just free propaganda for the Hussein Heads.
I wasn't lumping the new ST movie in with anti American films, just that it's caught up in the foreign release boom. IIRC, Ron Silver was speaking in 2007 and was responding to the plethora of anti American films that were coming out at the time. Think there were four at one time that year and they all bombed at US box offices.
