The phenomenon is not strictly American, but with twist.

In most countries around the world anythng American is treated in a special way. Sometimes with disgust, but always with strong interest. That is why, for instance, the French will pay for those films.

For that reason any new highly acclaimed piece of Hollywood is accepted in those countries.

By comparisson, very few foreign movies make it here, none of them has great commercial success, so the exchange is highly lopsided.

We saturate their markets with substandard but highly viewed production, they respond with miniscule stream of mostly good films.

BUT, in addition they moan and bitch about US destroying their subtle viewership with all that crap, while in fact they too, have nobody else to blame...
