In North America ''foreign film'' is often used instead of ''foreign language film'', and isn't usually applied to British , Australian or other films made in English. Foreign films are generally shown in Art House s that also show Independent Film s and Art Film s. Foreign films generally have only limited releases and modest grosses. Most are Subtitle d, which discourages some potential viewers. The differences in style and tone between foreign and domestic films also affects attendance. Some foreign films have wider releases and make a great deal of money. Recent examples include '' Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon '' and '' Amelie ''. The first foreign film to top the North American Box Office was '' Hero '' in the fall of 2004 .
