ELI5: Do other countries have the equivalent of a Hollywood? For example, does Germany have blockbuster films and movie stars? Why don't we hear about them? Are they aware of our films and stars?

I'm aware of India and Bollywood, but what about other countries?

Germans are very much aware of Hollywood films and stars. Almost all Hollywood movies are dubbed and shown in German movie theatres. 

There are, of course, German movies and stars, but they are mostly unknown in America because Americans in general aren't interested in foreign movies. If a foreign movie looks interesting American directors often decide to just re-shoot the whole thing to create an Americanized version that will appeal to American audiences.
