The Motion Picture Association of America is standing by European movie-TV industries’ strong concerns to a Digital Single Market, Christopher Dodd, MPAA chairman-CEO said Monday in Berlin.
“One size sometimes does not fit all,” he added, describing conversations between European and global industry reps as “moving in a good direction” but still requiring caution, and underscoring how MPAA members form an integral part of Europe’s film and TV industries in production and distribution. One example: Til Schweiger’s “Head Full of Honey,” which grossed $62.5 million in Germany last year, was co-produced and distributed by Warner Bros.
