1588 Unstoppable

72_72291In the fourth week of July, the North American box office charts continued to dominate the world by "Independence Day", setting a record for the highest weekend box office in the fourth week of Zào film history, with 25 million US dollars, which made other works have no temper and indisputably completed four consecutive championships!

The menacing but defeated "Killing Moment" aggrievedly ranked second, and Joe Schumacher's rebellion was declared bankrupt before it had time to begin, which was simply lightning fast; In addition to this, "not the same Ben." Although "Neng" encountered the "Independence Day" dilemma, the follow-up box office trend was very good, winning the $6 million weekend box office, ranking third; "Life and Death Pride" has been losing ground one after another, and this week it only occupied the palace with a weekend count of $5.7 million.

This week's newly released works are once again in full swing, with "Ace Bowling" and "Police." The opening box office of "Cha Story 4" was about 5.5 million, and the former was slightly better, ranking fifth and sixth respectively; "Pinocchio" tragically earned only $3.8 million at the weekend box office, barely making it into the top 10 and ranking eighth.

Although it has entered the fourth week of release, the dominance of "Independence Day" has not been weakened, and it has completed the hegemony of the entire month of July; Not only the North American box office, when "Independence Day" landed in the European market, it still showed a strong appeal, almost sweeping the United Kingdom and Germany.

With the advent of the "Independence Day" crew, the European continent set off an unprecedented frenzy, almost the entire European media turned their attention to London and Berlin where the crew arrived, this heat wave also drove the enthusiasm of the people of the European continent to watch the movie, although it is not as busy as the empty alleys in the United States, but it is also bustling, shoulder to shoulder, showing an unprecedented movie-watching scene, so enthusiastic is clearly displayed in front of everyone through the box office.

"Independence Day" was the first to be released in the United Kingdom, and the ability to explode with $21 million in the first weekend was shocked by the whole United Kingdom, which not only easily broke the previous record of 13 million US dollars for the opening box office of "Jurassic Park", but also became the first work in British film history to break the 20 million threshold at the weekend box office.

Compared with the American film market, the British market is not so explosive, this small country has only 57 million people, and the commercial operation of the film market is far less than that of the United States and Japan, but in the world, the British box office explosion is still not to be underestimated, maybe it is difficult for them to become the champion region of the overseas box office, but they can definitely be among the top five.

This time, "Independence Day" topped the UK weekend box office charts with a record-breaking number of jù, causing an uproar across the UK, because the $20 million weekend box office seemed like an unattainable height, and some British media once predicted that "it is unlikely that the UK will have a premiere weekend box office of more than 20 million in five years", which is not a lie.

Previously, "Jurassic Park" won $13 million at the box office in its opening weekend, which has been a shock, because this is the first work in the history of the UK to exceed 10 million at the weekend box office.

Now, just two years later, "Independence Day" has not only broken the seemingly impossible record of "Jurassic Park", but also directly raised the opening weekend box office from 10 million to 20 million, which is definitely a shocking feat that has caused a sensation throughout the United Kingdom - a height that was once thought to be unattainable in five years, can be easily broken in the blink of an eye, which is truly appalling.

"Hugo-Lancaster invades Britain", the headline of "The Times" once again landed on the front pages of major news newspapers in a scarlet manner, and "Independence Day", led by Hugo, set off an unstoppable tornado throughout the British Isles. And that's just the beginning.

Germany, which premiered at the same time as the United Kingdom, also ushered in the pace of "Independence Day" to make history, compared to the British market, Germany's box office potential is lower, especially since the main language here is German, Hollywood films will still be more or less affected here, but even so, "Independence Day" still set off a film storm on German soil.

After reunification in 1991, Germany has spent the past five years recuperating and methodically restoring the country's completely disrupted order and economy, and what they need is hope and encouragement for a region that has just experienced economic turmoil. Independence Day came at the right time.

In the movie "Independence Day", all mankind unites to face the alien attack and finally saves the earth by relying on human teamwork. This undoubtedly made the Germans project a powerful psychological suggestion, and the empathy of the same kind of empathy can easily make people find the ethereal spark of hope through the movie, which also made the "Independence Day" very popular in Germany, and the powerful craze even surpassed that of the United Kingdom, causing a surging crowd in major cities, and even causing the "bild" to raise a voice, "The grand scene of thousands of empty alleys in the United States is reproduced in Germany!" ”

As the daily newspaper with the largest circulation in Europe and Germany, Bild's influence is enough to compete with the century-old "Times", and the importance of "Independence Day" has reached new heights. kohl), to create momentum for the film.

Finally, the German people responded to Bild's enthusiastic publicity, and the box office exploded in the first weekend of 21.7 million US dollars, which caused a sensation not only in Germany, but also in Europe!

Don't underestimate the $21.7 million box office figure, although it is only a little higher than the UK, but this is the first time in the history of German cinema that a non-German and non-British film has outperformed the UK at the first opening box office.

Before Independence Day, no foreign film in Germany had grossed more than $10 million in its opening weekend, and the current high was $8 million in Jurassic Park, a smaller film market than the UK.

But this time, the opening weekend box office of "Independence Day" in Germany not only surpassed the number of British box office in the same period, but more terrifyingly, it became the first work in German film history to grossing more than $20 million in the weekend. Until then, only two local films had grossed more than 10 million at their first opening in the German market, and now Independence Day has set an unbeatable record – perhaps a record that will not be broken in a decade.

It is no wonder that the "Bild" newspaper declared that "the grand scene of empty alleys in the United States has been repeated in Germany", and it can be said that almost the whole of Germany has become a sensation and is feverish about "Independence Day". Few countries in recent history have been able to truly feel the phrase "we will fight for freedom" as deeply as Germany...... We want to celebrate our Independence Day ......" is not only the minds of the German people, who have been unable to rebuild after the devastation of the Second World War, but also the minds of the German people who have been struggling to break the shackles of the Berlin Wall in five years, a spirit that is in the blood and bursts with unbounded enthusiasm on German soil.

"Independence Day" exploded in the United Kingdom and Germany two markets 20 million opening weekend box office, even if it is one of the few in the world, at present only the United States and Japan in the world can have this explosive power, in 1996, when commercial development is generally not perfect, the opening weekend box office of 20 million can almost be said to sweep thousands of troops - can be equivalent to the North American market opening weekend 80 million US dollars.

Now, the whole world is boiling.

From the madness of North America to the ravages of Britain and Germany, "Independence Day" has swept unstoppably within just one month of its release, making people fanatical. After witnessing the explosion of the British and German markets, the rest of the world could no longer sit still, and the distribution branches of Twentieth Century Fox in various countries were busy - so busy that they couldn't touch the ground.

Australia, New Zealand, Colombia, Denmark, France, Italy, Sweden, Singapore, China. Country. Fragrant. Hong Kong, China. Country. Platform. Fourteen countries and regions, including Japan, South Korea, and other countries, finally became the first batch of winners, seizing the opportunity among many competitors, and will hold a grand premiere of "Independence Day" in the second week of August!

And this is just the beginning, the list of countries that are still being negotiated in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox has reached fifty-one, and if you add the countries and regions that have decided to release it, this has broken the previous record of "Jurassic Park" being released in sixty-four countries and regions, and "Independence Day" once again set a new record.

What's even more terrifying is that this is still not the whole story - although the American patriotism of "Independence Day" is very strong, but to be precise, it is a disaster for all mankind, so many countries and regions that are not interested in Hollywood movies at all are also considering importing them, including those that are slowly opening the door to the film market. Country. Big. Continental region. The next step is to look at the negotiations of Twentieth Century Fox, and perhaps the pace of "Independence Day" in the history of Zào will not stop.

From Oceania to Asia, from Europe to Africa, from South America to North America, all corners of the world are truly and deeply feeling the heat wave brought by "Independence Day", which may be the hottest summer in history, and perhaps the most memorable summer in history.

Because, the pace of "Independence Day" setting a record in North America has begun to accelerate!
