The ongoing war between the United States and Iran has begun to impact Hollywood significantly, primarily through economic disruptions and logistical challenges. As oil prices surge above $100–$110 per barrel, production costs are rising, affecting everything from transportation to on-location logistics. Fuel typically accounts for about 0.5% of a production budget, but the recent spike is expected to increase overall expenses. Moreover, international filming has faced setbacks, such as the cancellation of the Dubai shoot for Shah Rukh Khan's film 'King', as studios encounter logistical hurdles due to restricted airspace in the Middle East. Delays in filming are likely to push back release dates, prompting studios to reconsider their strategies, potentially favoring digital releases over theatrical ones in unstable markets. Additionally, several film festivals and concerts, including the Saudi Film Festival and Shakira's India tour, have been postponed due to the ongoing conflict, highlighting the broader impact on the entertainment industry.
