This is a phenomenon recognized my many-- even Hollywood. I can't speak for all English-speaking countries, but from what I have seen America, when a foreign-language movie becomes very popular, there's a good chance it'll be REMADE in English rather than simply released with subtitles or dubbed over ('Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' is a recent example). Oftentimes the new movies will be made 'less foreign' to cater to the American audience (see: Japanese horror movies). Even British movies get remade for American audiences, and they're still in english!

The general unwillingness of Americans to watch foreign films is well known, and there are many ideas as to why this is--some less forgiving than others.
