Why are so few [nationality] movies set outside [country]?
>>71733917
Because filming in your back yard is cheaper than filming in another country.
Why are so many German movies filmed in Germany?
and so on...

But, American movies are all filmed in Canada and UK (Pinewood Studios), but in fabricated sets w/ CGI backgrounds to make it look like it's taking place in America.
Why not just set it in London or Toronto?

Canada - Cheap with tax breaks.
UK - All the sci-fi villains live there.
The fact is when one is writing a script the characters are usually written from the writers frame of reference. Easier to set something in America, which the writer would know, than somewhere they have little or no understanding of.
A more interesting question I think is: How come Americans can make movies that appeal to such a broad worldwide audience?
Conditioning through previous exposure (tv etc)?
Packaging?
Showmanship?
A better understanding of the human condition perhaps?
America is basically the planet, so

There are movies that are set on other planets. That counts as outside America right?
Because the shithole where you live is irrelevant and people want to see America.

That's nonsense, plenty of movies are set in California
