72_72291From the appalling box office in the first week to the astonishing drop of 23% in the second week, accumulating $224 million in two weeks, the box office curve of "Independence Day" has become the most exciting TV series since 1996.

In the third week of July, the North American Cinema Alliance revealed the answer for the first time, $38.6 million! "Independence Day" still brutally handed over $38.6 million at the box office in the third week of its release, and the box office fell by only 28 percent this week.

Because this is the third week of the film's release - after two weeks of energy consumption, any work - especially commercial films - will usher in a sharp drop at the box office, which is the inevitable law of the market. Compared with the explosive power of the box office of the film's premiere, the endurance in the next few weeks is the most important and the most difficult, because it is not only related to the appeal of the movie actors, but also to the attraction of the movie to the audience.

There may be a lot of films that make $40 million at the weekend box office in the first week, but not every film can deliver a drop of less than 30 percent in the second or third week in a row - especially commercial films, which can even be said to be a handful.

Looking at the all-time list of the North American movie box office, the current weekend box office record holder in the third week is "Tornado", which was released at the beginning of this summer, breaking the previous records held by "Jurassic Park" and "Speed of Life and Death", and handed over $29 million in the third week, which amazed the entire North American film market.

But now, "Independence Day" not only easily broke this record, but also raised the box office table for the third week from 20 million to 30 million, and infinitely approached the level of 40 million, which is undoubtedly a table that changed history, even more terrifying than the box office of 80 million US dollars in the opening weekend, and can definitely be called the best table in history - maybe in the near future, the seemingly unsurpassable premiere box office record of "Independence Day" will be broken, but "Independence Day" The box office record set in the third week will be the target of countless works for a long, long time.

dumbfounded, speechless, and throwing himself to the ground...... No amount of flowery words can describe the excitement of the media at this time.

"Hugo Lancaster rewrites history!"

"With a drop of 28 percent, 'Independence Day' delivered a perfect answer!"

"Computer special effects and Hugo Lancaster's big win!"

"It's a movie that can't be beaten! Lancaster shouts 'Independence Day' King's Landing! ”

"A dream of 400 million!" Independence Day's stride! ”

………… The headlines of the major media were sensational, but even if these headlines were shocking, exaggerated and exciting, it was not an exaggeration, and almost the whole of the United States began to stir up.

Objectively speaking, no matter whether people like the movie "Independence Day" or not, whether Hollywood professionals recognize the concept of "high investment and high return", and regardless of those who think that computer special effects will ruin film art, no one can deny that the box office frenzy of "Independence Day" for three consecutive weeks has played a role in stimulating the entire film market and even the entire North American economy.

With a box office drop of 28 percent in the third week, the cumulative box office of "Independence Day" in three weeks has reached 289 million US dollars, ranking among the top 10 in the history of the North American box office in one fell swoop, and surpassing the previous box office of 285 million US dollars, "Home Alone", ranking sixth in film history!

At present, "Independence Day" has become the leader of all Hollywood films that have achieved 200 million box office, and the next step is to move towards the 300 million threshold. There is no doubt that the box office of the film will exceed 300 million next week - as long as the box office drop in the fourth week does not exceed 70%, "Independence Day" can reach this height, and judging from the decline in the first two weeks of the movie, it is clear that there is no difficulty in achieving this goal.

This also means that after reaching 100 million at the fastest and 200 million at the earliest, "Independence Day" will also become the fastest work in film history to reach 300 million US dollars, joining the "300 million box office" club of Hollywood movies!

If Shun Lì completes this breakthrough, "Independence Day" will not only become the first work of Hugo's professional business with a box office of 300 million US dollars, but also make "Independence Day" the sixth work in North American film history to exceed 300 million box office, ranking only in "Alien E." T", "Jurassic Park", "Forrest Gump", "Star Wars", "The Lion King".

At the present time in 1996, 300 million is the limit level of the North American film market, and only five works have reached this level in the entire history, and the time they have reached this level has proved this.

"Jurassic Park" surpassed $300 million in sixty-seven days," Alien E. It took 184 days, "The Lion King" took 188 days, "Forrest Gump" took 193 days, and "Star Wars" took more than a year.

But what about "Independence Day"? Now three weeks have just passed, four weeks? Or five weeks? For now, it seems promising that Independence Day will reach that threshold in just half the time it takes to use Jurassic Park.

Therefore, when the "Los Angeles Times" used the front-page headlines to announce that the "Independence Day" box office was sprinting towards 400 million. This is not a joke, let alone a mockery, but the reality, the miracle that everyone once thought was impossible is now happening in reality, and the "Independence Day" has created such an incredible situation with one solid step at a time, making the miracle have the possibility of becoming a reality.

"Independence Day" is the historical destroyer of the entire North American film market, which is creating an unprecedented world in an inviolable and unstoppable manner, and it will also be a whole new world that no one has imagined before.

It is unimaginable that a controversial "Independence Day", under the heavy pressure and suffering, under the general uncertainty and suspicion of people, not only was not crushed, but on the contrary, it made great strides forward, swept the North American film market with great momentum, and pushed the wheel of history forward. It turns out that "Independence Day" is obviously not a "future water world", nor is it a "Jurassic Park" or a "true lie", it is "Independence Day", a different and irreplaceable "Independence Day"!

In the face of the fact that "Independence Day" was still so good in the third week that people could not do anything about it, many works completely lost their armor.

"Independence Day" completed the first three consecutive championships after the unveiling of this year's summer file without suspense, and the huge advantage makes it impossible for other works to compete directly, except for "Independence Day", no work has exceeded 10 million at the box office, and the best "different book" is the best. "Can" only earned $8 million at the weekend box office, which is in stark contrast to the strength of "Independence Day".

In the face of the "Independence Day" sweeping $38.6 million table, the weekend box office of all works this week collectively dived by 40 percent, and the 38 percent drop in "Life and Death Pride" was already the only "green word" this week, and many works even fell by more than 60 percent.

"Ace Correspondent" in stark contrast, even broke out a 75 percent drop, only $250,000 at the weekend box office, only six weeks after its release, it is about to be announced, even more bleak than the original "vulgar" "Night Vampire".

Just such a number of details, you can see the share of "Independence Day" in the entire North American film market.

As for the four new works released this week, it can be described as a "rabble", the weekend box office of the four works is at the level of five million, and no one can break through six million, as if it is a fatal stumbling block, tripping the four newly released works together, and the box office list of "Horror Ghost" of $5.5 million is already far ahead, becoming the "champion" of the four works released this week - not even a fraction of "Independence Day".

Although the strong performance of "Independence Day" in the first two weeks has made people generally believe that it is undoubtedly very difficult for the four new works to have excellent performances; But no one expected it: the gap was so big that a sneeze from "Independence Day" was enough to scramble the rest of the productions.

However, no one will feel sorry for the losers - even the film companies themselves don't care too much, because the hope brought by the huge success of "Independence Day" is enough to make up for their losses, and they are more concerned about what "Independence Day" box office can reach, and whether it can really reach the threshold of 400 million.

Everyone in Hollywood is cheering for Independence Day, because they all know that this is a feat of writing history, and everyone is a witness to this history.

It is worth mentioning that "Trainspotting" was screened in eight theaters this week, and the box office of a single theater was only 32,000 US dollars - not even much of a gap from the single-theater box office of "Independence Day" in 3,200 theaters. It can be seen that Americans have not grasped the essence of this movie. Such a classic can only wait for the precipitation of time to slowly bloom.

No one cares about "Trainguessing", just as no one cares about other losers, because now there is only one "Independence Day" in the entire North American film market, and only this "Independence Day"! The film, starring Victor Hugo, is striding forward, but who can keep up with it?

Maybe not
