Such an absolute strength convinces all competitors, and the "Independence Day" can definitely be called "will be at the top of the mountain, at a glance".
Just as the "Independence Day" swept through North America, the overseas market also burst out with endless energy, and after realizing the huge energy of this work, various countries and regions around the world have asked for the introduction of this work, which made the "Independence Day" finally fully released in 76 countries and regions around the world, setting a new record for a film to be released worldwide.

Such an achievement is an incredible achievement even in the United States.
The grandeur and grandeur of the computer special effects in the "Independence Day" made the Japanese market react collectively, and their resourceful comic works have the possibility of being put on the big screen, and the audience's pursuit of this work can even be described as "fanatical", Hugo has become the most popular star in Japan in one fell swoop, and millions of girls regard Hugo as the lover of their dreams, so powerful even faintly surpassing the United States.
In addition to Japan, the box office table of the German market this time brought a huge surprise, becoming one of only two overseas regions in the world to break 100 million at the box office, which is really not expected by many people.
However, if you think about it carefully, "Schindler's List" was enthusiastically sought after in Germany, and then "Speed of Life and Death" and "Pulp Fiction" also have a good reputation here, and more importantly, Berlin has always been known as Hugo's blessed land, whether it is "before sunrise" or "death row stroll" has been warmly sought after here, and the respect for Hugo on this land has also reached a new height.
In the end, "Independence Day" received 119 million US dollars in Germany, although such a table is not as shocking as Japan, but this achievement is also the highest box office in German film history, and more importantly, Germany actually surpassed the United Kingdom, Italy, France and other countries and regions, and achieved such an incredible box office, becoming the runner-up of the annual overseas box office of "Independence Day", which is a huge surprise.

After North America, Independence Day has made a new history on a global scale.
Prior to this, there were only two works that crossed the threshold of 400 million at the overseas box office, one was "The Lion King" with an overseas box office of 564 million, and the other was "Jurassic Park" with an overseas box office exceeding the threshold of 600 million.
In fact, even if the overseas box office exceeds 300 million, it can only add "alien e". T", "Forrest Gump", "Terminator 2", "Star Wars", "Schindler's List", "Life and Death" and other six works.
At the moment in 1996, the development of the overseas film market lagged far behind that of North America, and even the North American market could not imagine a box office of more than 500 million, and the global film market as a whole had not yet entered the stage of real development. In the current pattern, it is already a huge achievement for the overseas box office to exceed 300 million US dollars, and Hugo alone has the box office of "Schindler's List" and "Speed of Life and Death", which exceeds 300 million, from this point of view, Hugo's global box office appeal even exceeds that of North America.
This time, "Independence Day" set off a frenzy on a global scale with the powerful momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, and changed the course of history in a real sense, following the miracle of North America, it strongly exceeded the threshold of 400 million and 500 million in overseas markets, easily leaving the original record holder of "Jurassic Park" behind, and burst out with incredible explosive power and staying power, exceeding the overseas box office record of 626 million, and continued to make breakthroughs in one go, directly rushing through the 700 million moats. It has once again written a new chapter in the global film market.
700 million US dollars, this is another field that no one has ever reached, and there are only two works above 400 million, but now "Independence Day" stands in the world of 700 million box office, erecting a monument that latecomers must do their best to catch up, leaving their own mark on the annals of history with an unforgettable attitude.
In this way, "Independence Day" swept 1.255 billion US dollars around the world, surpassing "Jurassic Park" without suspense and becoming the new champion of the global box office film history, and what is even more terrifying is that this is also the first work in the history of the film to exceed one billion dollars at the box office in the history of nearly a century!
No previous work has been able to achieve a billion-dollar box office, not even "Jurassic Park", which is still nearly 45 million away from the billion-dollar threshold.
Now, "Independence Day" has created a new history, officially marking the beginning of the era of one billion dollars in the history of the film box office, and "Independence Day" not only crossed the threshold of one billion, but also reached more than 1.25 billion box office results, so that all film practitioners around the world began to cheer, because this not only means that the box office ceiling of the film is opened, all practitioners will benefit; It also means that as an important part of culture, the social influence of film is reaching a new height, and the film industry will receive more attention and attention in the future.
