I mean they play american movies in India and else were why don't moives from other countries don't get much attention here in America?
Nobody would pay to watch them.
Near where I live they play Bollywood movies in the theater and it's an AMC, not independent. Desi Boys and The Dirty Picture are playing right now. I think they are mostly shown in the bigger US cities.
I've sat thru 2 Bollywood movies. I would never watch another one. They are too long, too corny and don't adon bollywoodppeal to American tastes. The stories are silly and sophomoric. Also having everyone break out in song every five minutes is goofy to us. Since the singing and dancing seem to have nothing to do with the storyline.
No audience
There isn't enough money to be made off of them for chain theaters to show them. Some independent theaters show Bollywood films though.
Yes, like others said its a money factor. If they don't think or see that certain movies are bringing in profits thedon bollywoody have no incentive to show them. I don't think this means these movies are bad by any means, and if more people watched them they might get more mainstream attention, but as for now there is just not a huge audience for them in America. But I would assume that American films do well in other countries or they wouldn't waste the money to show and promote them there, so that is why you see those films in other countries.
no public
