72_72291 September 27, it was an ordinary Friday, but thirteen cities across the United States held a grand viewing event, not to see the works that premiered this week, but to watch the "Independence Day" that was released for three months, and this event called for more than 5,000 fans across the United States to respond, and it was staged in the cinemas of these thirteen cities.

Both Fox TV and ABC TV sent special teams to record this special moment, not only the two major TV stations, but also hundreds of journalists also participated in this movie-watching event, which looked like the pomp and circumstance of the Independence Day fireworks display on the Fourth of July, so the scene has gone far beyond the scope of a movie, and has truly become a social phenomenon!

On September 27 alone, $4.7 million was handed over on Independence Day, and this is already the 86th day of the film's release!

Before September 27th, the North American Cinema Alliance announced the box office progress of each day of "Independence Day", and even the exhibitors clearly knew that this was a historical process that attracted global attention, and they also hoped that everyone would be a part of it, as if it was a New Year's countdown, and everyone would join in the cry of "five, four, three, two, one".

On September 26, the cumulative box office of "Independence Day" has reached 498.3 million US dollars, which also means that 500 million is just the last kick in the door, so on the following Friday, "Independence Day" set off a new wave of movie-watching frenzy after 86 days of release, officially marking the re-writing of history!

On August 9, this is a day that will go down in history, the first work in North American film history to exceed 400 million at the box office in the first round of screenings was born; Less than two months later, on September 27, this is another day that will go down in history, the first work in the history of North American cinema to reach a box office height of 500 million was officially born, and it is also the first work in the history of global cinema to exceed 400 million at the box office in a single country!

Since the birth of "Jaws" in 1975, marking the official maturity of commercial films, only 21 years have passed, and many box office masterpieces have emerged in history, but today it is a new page. The birth of "Independence Day" not only marked the ability of the American film market to blow out $500 million at the box office, but also marked the beginning of a new era in the investment, production, distribution, and publicity of commercial films, opening a new chapter in the entire North American film industry.

……

From the "Independence Day" itself, to Hugo Lancaster, to the height of the company, the media in the United States immediately reported the news of the "Independence Day" in an all-round way, and in the era when the Internet was not yet popular, the newspapers hanging on the newsstand all paid attention to the feat of the same news event on the front page, except for the presidential election, there was probably only "Independence Day".

Obviously, this work has already caused a sensation in the whole country, the box office of 500 million US dollars not only means to break the record of film history, but also means the added value of culture, the film industry as a cultural soft output, will create immeasurable speculation for the United States, whether it is to stimulate domestic demand, or to promote foreign trade, "Independence Day" has created a new model, reached a new height, so that the strategic position of the film industry has been further enhanced.

According to incomplete statistics, in just three days of the weekend of September 27-29, the topic of "Independence Day" and Hugo was mentioned more than 1,300 times on TV screens in the United States, far exceeding the presidential election, demonstrating the power of this film work.

In the end, the North American Cinema Alliance officially announced the box office on September 30, and in the fourth week of September, the "Ex-Wives Club" handed over a weekend box office of $15 million with an excellent 19% decline, achieving the top spot for a second time. Independence Day, on the other hand, posted a 60 percent gain, and grossed $9.9 million over the weekend, returning to the runner-up spot on this week's charts.

At the same time, the cumulative box office of the thirteen weeks of "Independence Day" has officially reached 508.2 million! This is a set of numbers jù that writes history.

Since the grand premiere on July 3, "Independence Day" has generated a box office of $500 million in just 86 days, reaching an unprecedented all-time high, and people don't even know whether the box office of 500 million yuan is more surprising or the result of 86 days is even more surprising. In less than three months, Independence Day has reached heights that no other work in the history of North American cinema has ever been able to achieve, and such a feat is bound to be talked about even twenty years later.

This also marks the official "Independence Day" to the top of the box office in North American film history, this is not only Hugo's first work with a box office of more than 300 million, but also Hugo's first work to win the year-end box office - unimaginable, although Hugo has created a box office miracle every year, but he has never been in the competition for the year-end box office charts, and now, although there are still three months before the end of the year, "Independence Day" has been announced in advance to end all surprises.

However, since the release of "Independence Day", almost every day has been setting a zào record, so now it has won the first box office in film history, but there are not too many surprises, which is a completely natural result.

Starting with Jaws in 1975, to Star Wars in 1977, to Alien E in 1982. t", then to "Home Alone" in 1990, "Terminator 2" in 1991, and finally to "Jurassic Park" in 1993, "Forrest Gump" and "The Lion King" in 1994.

It took a long journey to increase the box office of North American films, until the summer of 1996, when it finally entered a new world, "Independence Day" first opened the door to the 20 million salary club, and then opened the door to 500 million box office, showing a new world to Hollywood.

What's more interesting is that "Independence Day" was released on July 4, which is the Independence Day of the United States, and this work not only started the madness of the Independence Day schedule, but also started the frenzy of the summer file, and also set off a riot in the film market, and every step of "Independence Day" is writing history. Perhaps, just like the name of the movie, this is the Independence Day that belongs to the film market, starting today, entering a new era!

"Independence Day" created a midsummer dynasty in 1996, even in North America twenty years later, there was "Titanic", then "Avatar", and "The Avengers", more and more works that can break the "Independence Day" record have emerged, but no one can forget the midsummer dynasty in 1996, because this is the beginning of the North American film market to truly enter full commercialization, and "Independence Day" still set a record in the distant and ancient 1996, The difficulty is unimaginable.

The first step in history is always the most difficult. Just like the "Gone with the Wind" back then, "Independence Day" is destined to truly go down in history and become an important coordinate in the history of North American film development.

Of course, more importantly, this is the dynasty created by Hugo, which has also become the moment when Hugo really reached the top of the superstar, although Hugo was already a unique superstar last year, but the appearance of "Independence Day" not only bloomed at the box office, but more importantly, it made up for Hugo's last shortcomings in commercial films, creating an impeccable perfect superstar - a box office of 500 million US dollars, this is the best trophy!

The North American film market ushered in the box office of "Independence Day" of 500 million, but this land is only one of the territories of the "Independence Day" summer dynasty, in the overseas market outside of North America, the "Independence Day" table is as unstoppable, as people have been expecting, "Independence Day" continues the strength of North America, on a higher stage on a global scale, and continues to create its own pace of history.

Billion? 600 million? Or is it more?.
