According to my DVD, the US has an ending with Elizabeth and Darcy outside Pemberley, being very sweet and ending with a snog. The rest of the world has the film ending with Mr Bennet's comments that he was available for any other would-be husbands who appeared that day. Elizabeth has already left in search of Darcy with a look of great hope and delight in her eyes.
I'm always happy with an open ending, but I accept that there are people who prefer the snogging. What made me rase my eyebrows was the idea that American audiences are somehow unable to deal with an open ending and need special one just for them. I blame producers who haven't watched enough American film from the 30s and 40s!
