How long before Mexican Spanish movies or Hindu Street Shitters start to outsell Hollywood movies in North American theatrical releases?

For some reason Hollywood refuses to support indie American film makers

Canada seems done as a film location, for a while it did good prodiving location for US shows and movies

Hollyweird has crashed, there have been foreign waves that beat Hollywood before, the French, the Japanese Samuri movies, the Italian-American spaghetti Western, HK Kungfu films, then J-horror, Korean tv a return of anime and Chinese films arriving

Then we had 'RRR' a 2022 Indian Telugu-language epic

Big Fx and explosive space effects and CGI but very shallow like a Zack Snyder movie

Bollywood has been around a while and India does have good movies but this one is strange
the Hindu Street Shitters don't always make what people note as 'Art'
even foreign mediocrity with no real story or message can compete against Hollyweird

Look at how good Chuck did it





some online NPC bots are blabbing about Kill Hindi I have not seen many Hindi Indian at Kickboxing, MMA, Judo, UFC, Wrestling, Karate, Boxing...they do the dance thing but for me the martial arts thing is a hard sell and I'm not really buying it in some of their movies, in real life sports they are terrible at winning Gold in the Olympics
Arnie had terrible English when he started but he made it part of his thing, I liked some Thai stuff but they did not sell to the English speaking audience, Chuck Norris, Donnie Yen, Bruce Lee, Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren, Ray Park, Randy Couture, Stallone, Toshiro Mifune, Jackie Chan, Van Damme some are real fighters they got in the ring and took hits and others are martial arts stage but they can all sell action that looks ok on screen
nobody will tell you Jack Dempsey can not sell strength and action in old film real like Mr Broadway or Daredevil Jack 1920 they look tough, that guy can throw a punch
Mike Tex Cobb or Mike Tyson are filmed where their physical skills come out and look the real deal. Although 'Charles Bronson' just looked tough a fighter even if he was not a martial arts guy, some of the Actors in epics like Spartacus could sell their role. Burt Lancaster and Paul Newman were very physical guys in their youth even if they were not martial arts guys,
Actor Steve Reeves was already a beast and known as a 'Strongman' freakshow. Dwyane the Rock Johson, Dave Bautista and Hulk Hogan were Wrestler monsters but I'm not sure if Hulk Hogan was much as an actor in live action movies it seemed very Wrestlemania like.
Shaquille O'Neal does not need to do much to look big and tough but his skills as an actor are poor, Actors like Russell Crowe is another who just looks tough and mean a New Zealand and Australia actor.
Something also changed in the late 1960s era of film, and early 70s of Hollywood once Bruce Lee arrived you were expected to kick a bit, judo, knees and elbows, a real martial art street fight and an actor had to do more than throw a haymaker punch, the old action heroes of the 1940s could no longer do it in the new era of hand to hand stunts, a lot of it is still carefully timed behind the scenes camera work and choreography and stunt teams.
but I'm not really getting the Hindi Fight thing, some countries have it some actors have it physically but are missing the lines and 'screen presence' Tony Jaa was ok from Thailand but lacked the actor ability never going beyond stunt actor.
