Why does it seem to be impossible for other cultures to compete with the Americans in the realm of movies, tv shows, music, etc.? Is it just a matter of money? Couldn’t the EU fund their own version of Hollywood?

But you're not going to find them in the US [much] if they're not in English Here's some data from several years ago (couldn't find anything more recent in a quick scan) - https://screenville.blogspot.com/2009/06/production-world-cinema-stats-1.html https://screenville.blogspot.com/2009/06/production-world-ci...
