Chapter 1578: 1578
From the terrifying box office in the first week to the amazing decline of 23% the next week, and the accumulated $224 million in two weeks, the box office curve of "Independence Day" has become the most exciting TV series since 1996. Everyone is extremely looking forward to the subsequent plot direction, and every ups and downs can touch the hearts of countless viewers.
In the third week of July, the North American theater alliance's participation relationship was revealed at the first time, $38.6 million! "Independence Day" still delivered a box office of $38.6 million in a brutal way in the third week of release. The box office fell only 28% this week. This performance is not enough to describe it even if it is amazing. This is the box office data that set a historical precedent, and it is even more scary than the box office data of 100 million in the first week of release.
Because this is the third week of the movie's release, after two weeks of energy consumption, any work, especially commercial movies, will usher in a sharp drop in box office, which is an inevitable rule of the market. Compared with the explosive power of the movie's premiere box office, the battery life in the next few weeks is the most important and difficult, because this is not only related to the appeal of the movie actors, but also to the attractiveness of the movie to the audience.
Perhaps many works can win a weekend box office of $40 million in the first week, but not every work can be sold in the next week and in the third week, especially commercial movies, which can even be said to be a handful of commercial movies.
Looking at the historical rankings of North American movie box office, the current weekend box office record holder in the third week is "Tornado". This work, released at the beginning of this summer, has set a new record previously held by "Jurassic Park" and "Life and Death Speed". It handed over $29 million in the third week, amazed the entire North American movie market.
But now, "Independence Day" not only easily breaks this record, but also raises the third week's box office performance from 20 million to 30 million, and is infinitely close to 40 million. This is undoubtedly a performance that changes history, and is even more terrifying than the box office of 80 million US dollars on the premiere weekend. It can definitely be regarded as the best performance in history. Maybe in the near future, the seemingly insurmountable premiere box office record of "Independence Day" will be broken, but the box office record created by "Independence Day" in the third week will become a target that countless works look up to for a long time.
Dumbfounded, speechless, and prostrated... No matter how gorgeous the words are, they cannot describe the excitement of the media at this time.
"Hugo Lancaster rewrites history!"
"After 28% of the decline, 'Independence Day' delivered a perfect answer!"
"Computer special effects and Hugo Lancaster's big win!"
"This is an unbeatable movie! Lancaster shouts 'Independence Day' Landing!"
"A dream of 400 million! 'Independence Day' sprints!"
………The titles of major media are sensational, but no matter how thrilling, the titles are, no exaggeration or excitement, it is no exaggeration. Almost the whole of the United States began to stir up.
Objectively speaking, no matter whether people like the movie "Independence Day", whether Hollywood professionals agree with the concept of "high investment and high returns", and no matter who thinks that computer special effects will ruin the art of film, no one can deny that the continuous box office frenzy of "Independence Day" for three consecutive weeks has played a driving role in the entire film market and even the entire North American economy. While opening a new era, almost every link in the Hollywood industry can benefit.
With the box office drop of 28% in the third week, the cumulative box office of "Independence Day" in three weeks has reached 289 million US dollars, ranking among the top ten in the North American box office history rankings, and surpassed the "Hometown" who had previously created 285 million US dollars in box office, and ranked sixth in film history!
At present, "Independence Day" has become the leader of all Hollywood's works that have achieved 200 million box offices, and the next step is to move towards the threshold of 300 million. There is no doubt that the movie's box office will soon exceed 300 million next week. As long as the box office drop in the fourth week should not exceed 70%, "Independence Day" can reach this level. Judging from the decline in the first two weeks of the movie, it is obviously not difficult to achieve this goal.
This also means that after reaching 100 million or 200 million as fast as possible, "Independence Day" will become the fastest work in film history to reach 300 million US dollars, joining the Hollywood movie "300 million box office" club!
If this breakthrough is successfully completed, "Independence Day" will not only become the first work of Hugo professional business with a box office of 300 million US dollars, but will also make "Independence Day" the sixth work of North American film history with a box office of over 300 million US dollars, only after "Alien e.t", "Jurassic Park", "Forrest Gump", "Star Wars", and "The Lion King".
In 1996, 300 million is the limit of the North American film market. In the entire history, only five steps of works have reached this level, and the time they have reached this level also proves this.
It took 67 days for "Jurassic Park" to exceed US$300 million, "Alien e.t" 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? At present, "Independence Day" has a great hope to reach this threshold by just half of the time it takes to use "Jurassic Park".
Therefore, when the Los Angeles Times used the front page headlines to announce that the box office of "Independence Day" was sprinting toward 400 million. This is not a joke, nor is it a ridicule, but reality. The miracle that everyone once thought could not have happened is happening in reality. "Independence Day" created such an incredible situation with solid footprints step by step, allowing miracles to become a reality.
"Independence Day" is a historical destroyer of the entire North American film market. It is creating an unprecedented world with an inviolable and irresistible attitude, which will be a new world that predecessors can't imagine.
It is hard to imagine that a controversial "Independence Day" is under heavy pressure and suffering, and in the face of general uncertainty and suspicion, it is not only not crushed, but on the contrary, it also makes great strides forward, and is dominating the North American film market with a huge sweeping momentum, pushing the wheel of history forward. Facts have proved that "Independence Day" is obviously not the "future water world", nor is it "Jurassic Park" or "true lie". It is "Independence Day", a unique and irreplaceable "Independence Day"!
Faced with the performance of "Independence Day" that was so outstanding that it was powerless in the third week, a group of works were completely abandoned.
"Independence Day" completed its first three consecutive championships after the opening of this summer, without any suspense. Its huge advantage makes it impossible for other works to compete directly. Except for "Independence Day", no work has exceeded 10 million in box office. The best-performing "Different Yuan. Nevertheless, the weekend box office was only earned 8 million US dollars, which is incredibly sharply compared with the strength of "Independence Day".
Faced with the performance of "Independence Day" sweeping over 38.6 million US dollars, the weekend box office of all works this week collectively plummeted by 40%, and the decline of "life and death passion" by 38% is already the only "green word" this week. Many works even fell by more than 60%.
In sharp contrast, the "Ace Commissioner" even lost 75% of the weekend box office, with a revenue of only US$250,000, and it will be announced to be offline in just six weeks after it was released, even more miserable than the "night visit to vampire" against "pulp novels".
Just such a data detail can show that the current "Independence Day" has a share of the entire North American film market.
As for the four new works released this week, they can be described as "mobs". The weekend box office of the four works is 5 million, and no one can break through 6 million. It is like a fatal tripping horse, stumbled all the newly released four works. The box office performance of "Horror Ghost" of $5.5 million is already far ahead, becoming the "champion" of the four works released this week, and even failing to reach a fraction of "Independence Day".
Although the strong performance of "Independence Day" in the first two weeks made people generally believe that it is undoubtedly very difficult for the four new works to perform well; but no one expected that the gap was so big that a sneeze on "Independence Day" would be enough to make other works fuss.
However, no one will regret the losers, even the film companies themselves don’t care much, because the hope brought by the huge success of "Independence Day" is enough to make up for their losses. What they care more about is what height the box office of "Independence Day" can reach, and can it really reach the 400 million threshold?
Everyone in Hollywood is cheering for Independence Day because they all know clearly that this is a feat of writing history, and everyone is a witness to this history.
It is worth mentioning that "Train Guess" was previewed on eight theaters this week, and the box office of a single museum was only 32,000 US dollars, and there was not much difference from the box office of a single museum created by "Independence Day" at 3,200 theaters. It can be seen that Americans have not appreciated the essence of this movie. Such a classic can only wait for the precipitation of time to slowly shine.
No one cares about "train guessing", just as no one cares about other losers, because there is only one "Independence Day" in the entire North American film market, only this "Independence Day"! This movie starring Hugo is striding forward with great strides. Who can keep up with its pace?
Maybe not.
