The missing piece here Ani, is that we don't know how you can vouch for Hollywood (because you are evidently not Hollywood). Money is money. Hollywood may want to target the US market if they're the bigger movie-goers with large spendings on movies, but that simply means they go for where the money's at.
Only kinda. We're talking about what constitutes a success. Making a profit is not the same as a success, not in an industry focused on hundreds of millions to billions of dollars. Some actors/actresses get $20 mil for a role, and this movie can't even muster that in profit in the domestic market? Not a success by Hollywood standards.

You can doubt my understanding of Hollywood but it remains that you're from foreign markets that do not have a film industry anything like what we have here. You get the scraps from our movie industry. So you can take my word for it, which you won't, or you can google it.

Next we'll discuss the social and economic problems in your backwards little country and I'll doubt everything you say even though you've been living there and experiencing it firsthand your whole life. I say your country is still 3rd world because all the people there are lazy. Prove me wrong.
