After the premiere of "Independence Day", major media ushered in a burst of comments. Thanks to the preparation of the past six months, it is obvious that the movie has received unprecedented attention. Just the first batch of comments, there were comments from thirty media outlets.

Among these comments, all media gave praise, which is impossible. Although there are not many criticisms, they still exist.

"USA Today" said in the comments, "The plot that is so simple that it is almost mentally retarded, there is really no highlight. The ending of the story can be predicted from the beginning of the story. Even if the process is bumpy or exciting, it still cannot conceal the weakness of the plot and the lack of connotation.

Of course, if you are a sci-fi movie, you like wonderful visual effects, you love super big bangs and crowds falling into chaos, you are happy to enjoy the experience of being shocked by the explosion in the cinema... Then, you will fall in love with this movie wildly. I am not one of them."

Although the comments on "USA Today" are still mainly criticized, the score still reaches 65 points. It can be seen that they still recognize the level of "Independence Day" as a commercial film.

In addition, the New York Post also disagrees with Independence Day. "Once you experience the most thrilling plot in the movie, the landmarks in our country are destroyed like a joke. After that, the whole movie's two hours seem empty and exhausted, and the endless explosion makes the story irrelevant, and even the characters seem dispensable. Even Hugo Lancaster can't save this bad script."

In addition to the lowest score of 50, the New York Post also said, "Maybe after a long peak, especially after the exhausting performance of "Death Guard Walking", Hugo needs a while to take a good rest, but this time his choice seems to be a bit self-deprecating and over-relaxed. Of course, the confusion after the Oscar Little Golden Man exists for anyone, and we cannot ask for more Hugo."

The New York Post score was not only the lowest score among the first comments, but they were also the only media that brought up the curse of the Little Golden Man. However, this time the New York Post still makes some sense. Independence Day was the script Hugo was almost exhausted and consumed all his energy during the "Death Inmate Walk", so he chose a commercial movie. Therefore, the so-called concerns of the New York Post cannot be considered as a master of the nameless.

Coincidentally, "USA Today" and "New York Post" were the two media outlets that were least optimistic about the box office of "Independence Day" before the movie was released. Obviously, they did not have much favorable feelings for Hugo, and now they should be secretly happy to see the finished product quality of "Independence Day".

However, both "USA Today" and "New York Post" seem insignificant among the first batch of comments. After the premiere, the comments from thirty-one media outlets gained the absolute advantage with praise. Looking around, the whole film was data of more than 80% and did not look like a professional film review of a commercial film at all, but like an independent film screened by art theaters. This made the media comprehensive review of "Independence Day" actually reach an incredible 83 points!

This is abnormal, absolutely abnormal!

But after thinking about it carefully, you can find that this is actually an inevitable result in chance. "Independence Day" has always been not a simple movie. It carries more the burden of the struggle between two factions in Hollywood: the supporters with high investment and high returns, and the supporters with high cost return to the originality of the movie.

These two factions have completely different views on the upper limit of actor pay, the overuse of computer special effects, the continuous increase in production costs, the future development direction of the film industry, etc. This can be said to be the main theme of the entire Hollywood in the past three years, throughout.

"Future Water World" is the first work that carries such a heavy burden. As a result, the quality of the work itself is not up to standard, so the cost control faction has gained an absolute advantage, pushing the "Future Water World" to hell with a painful blow to the water dog. When "Future Water World" was released, the first batch of media comprehensive reviews were only 28 points, which can be said to be extremely miserable, which also made the movie's box office slump and slip into the abyss of darkness. Although subsequent media comments gradually recovered, eventually rising the media comprehensive review of "Future Water World" to 46 points, it was still useless.

The same is true for "Independence Day", but as the "Hollywood Reporter" said, this movie provides an excellent demonstration for Hollywood: how to perfectly connect computer effects with the plot, and then let computer effects play a real role. It can be said that "Independence Day" is the sample that the supporters most want to see in high investment and high returns. From the perspective of visual effects, this is an impeccable work.

Therefore, among the first batch of comments, high investment and high return supporters gained the absolute advantage, pushing the media comprehensive review of "Independence Day" by 80 in one fell swoop, and even once led the "speed of life and death" that was praised at the time.

Of course, with the advancement of time, it is almost impossible for "Independence Day" to maintain the strength of the first batch of comments, but even so, "Independence Day" became completely popular after the first batch of comments, and continued the craze for the official release of 0:00 on July 4th.

July 4th, the annual Independence Day holiday in the United States. On this day of each year, National Day fireworks are the most lively celebrations and have become a regular celebration. However, this year's Independence Day has added another celebration: collectively go to the cinema to watch "Independence Day"!

Driven by the sensational effect of the premiere, the midnight show on the day of Independence Day broke out with a box office of $4.3 million, easily breaking the midnight show box office record set by "Batman Forever" last year, and nearly doubled the record.

Subsequently, the program effect of "Beautiful Day Live" and the positive reviews of the first batch of comments burst out with endless energy, which directly triggered the blowout effect. On the entire Independence Day holiday, a movie-watching frenzy across the United States made this Thursday present an unprecedented prosperity. The grand occasion of being empty all over the streets was still talked about by people even after many years.

In the end, in the Thursday day alone, Independence Day frantically converged its box office data of 36 million US dollars, making the entire North American market crazy!

Three thousand six million dollars!

You should know that the box office result of the premiere of "The.nutty.professor" last week was only 25 million US dollars, but it only took three days for a whole weekend; and this result could easily win the North American weekend box office rankings at any time in any previous period. But this is just a box office of "Independence Day" within one day!

What does such data mean? Perhaps some clues can be seen after horizontal comparison.

Before this, the North American box office history record on the premiere was created by "Batman Forever" in 1995. It was released in 2900 theaters, and it handed over a box office of 21 million US dollars per day, dominating the long film history of North America; the second place was "Terminator 2" released during Independence Day in 1991. The box office of Independence Day swept 20 million US dollars on the day, which also created a new history of North American box office at that time.

Before Independence Day was released, the Chicago Tribune predicted that the box office of Independence Day could reach as high as 30 million US dollars on Independence Day, which was considered a joke by almost all media, especially when it was spoken by the Chicago Tribune, which was more and more like a ridicule.

After all, before that, even the box office of the single-day exceeded 20 million US dollars, there were only two works.

But now, "Independence Day" has created an incredible miracle. The single-day box office not only easily broke the Independence Day single-day box office record created by "Terminator 2" five years ago, but also easily surpassed the film history record created by "Forever Batman". What's even more terrifying is that "Independence Day" set a standard box office of 36 million US dollars per day. Only God knows when this record will be broken!

In just one day, "Independence Day" emerged in a destructive manner, almost in a sweeping manner: the box office of this movie is already unstoppable!

Although many media still stated that due to the blowout effect of the first day, the movie's box office driving ability of the three-day weekend has been greatly weakened. After all, the sales ability of the entire film market is limited; not to mention, the long-term box office of the movie still depends on the subsequent reputation, as well as the decline level of the third week caused by reputation. Hollywood has never lacked the first week's box office explosion in history, but the box office of the next week directly plummeted by 70% and 80%, which ultimately led to a crushing box office defeat. Therefore, the subsequent performance of "Independence Day" still needs to be watched.

But soon, "Independence Day" responded to these hesitations and hesitations with an indisputable performance. After Thursday's glory, "Independence Day" then broke out with a box office performance of $25 million on Friday. Although it fell by more than 30% compared to Thursday, this performance still makes people unable to help but raise their hand to adjust their dislocated chin.

You should know that after experiencing an outbreak that cannot be replicated on the Independence Day holiday, Friday was first a working day, and secondly the crazy crowd should have faded their enthusiasm, but what happened? $25 million! In just one day on Friday, "Independence Day" still achieved a single-day box office of $25 million. This box office data easily beat "Terminator 2" and "Forever Batman" without any doubt.

Even the day after the premiere, the box office data still firmly trampled the previous historical records under the feet. It was too crazy. Even the craziest novelist or screenwriter did not dare to write such a plot. But reality happened so, so incredible but extremely realistically in front of you.
Chapter completed!
