Sure it does. Americans don't like to watch subtitles. I'm not saying that a remake of a foreign film is going to be as good as the original, just that it appeals to a wider (American) audience

I have seen many original language films that were completely butchered by Hollywood remakes. Oldboy comes to mind but there are many. If you can't be bothered to read subtitles then you just have to miss out on some quality cinema. Best to do that than to let some money hungry Hollywood yutz flub it up just so they can extract a few bucks from the mouth breathers.
