Probably still true at present, but it's a mutable attribute. All you need to change this is to consistently present Americans with foreign content they personally find compelling. This has already been demonstrated with anime; Americans who like anime become acclimatized to subtitles, and of course dubs. And it's happening again with Americans who like romantic dramas; they're increasingly turning to Korean content. It could easily happen with blockbuster action movies too, particularly since those are light on dialogue anyway.
If Hollywood is counting on native English content being their moat, I think they're in trouble. That's a moat Americans are willing to cross if enticed with enough good content.
