Look at the credits for any modern movie, especially one that's special-effects heavy. Most of them either film or use special effects houses that are outside of the US. Films today are a global enterprise. Even the actors are a mix of nationalities, not just Americans. Look at a big movie like Dune. A movie from an American studio, by an American author, adapted for the screen by an American and a Frenchman, starring American, British, Swedish, Spanish, filmed by a French director filmed in various parts of Africa.
