Chapter 1597: 1597 Midsummer Dynasty
September 27th, it was an ordinary Friday, but the thirteen cities across the United States held a grand movie viewing event, not watching the works that were premiered this week, but watching the "Independence Day" that lasted for three months. This event called for more than 5,000 movie fans across the United States and was staged lively in the cinemas of these thirteen cities.
Fox TV and ABC TV have both sent special shooting teams to record this special moment. Not only the two major TV stations, but also hundreds of reporters have also participated in this movie viewing event. It looks like the grand occasion of the Independence Day fireworks conference on July 4th. This scene has far exceeded the scope of a movie and has become a social phenomenon in the true sense!
On September 27 alone, "Independence Day" handed over $4.7 million, and this is the 86th day of the movie's release!
Before September 27, the North American Cinema Alliance exhibition relations announced the box office progress of each day of "Independence Day". Even the exhibition relations clearly knew that this was a historical creation process that attracted worldwide attention. They also hoped that everyone would become part of it, just like the countdown to the New Year, and everyone joined the shouts of "Five, Four, Three, Two, One".
On September 26, the cumulative box office of "Independence Day" had reached 498.3 million US dollars, which also means that 500 million was just the last shot. Therefore, on the following Friday, "Independence Day" set off a new wave of movie viewing frenzy 86 days after its release, officially marking the re-written history!
August 9th, this is a day that has been recorded in history. The first work in North American film history that has exceeded 400 million in box office. Less than two months later, September 27th, this is another day that has been recorded in history. The first work in North American film history that has reached a box office of 500 million was officially born. It is also the first work in global film history to exceed 400 million in a single country!
Almost all media in the United States reported this incident at the first time, "500 million! 500 million! 500 million!" This is the front page headline from the "Chicago Tribune", which once again snatched everyone's focus, and the concise and clear title vented the excitement in his heart.
The emergence of the Great White Shark in 1975 marks the official maturity of commercial films. In just 21 years, many box office masterpieces have emerged in history, but today is a new page. The emergence of the "Independence Day" not only marks the ability of the US film market to have a box office of 500 million US dollars, but also marks the entry of the investment, production, distribution and publicity of commercial films into a new era, opening a new chapter in the entire North American film industry.
"After 'Gone with the Wind', 'Independence Day' has once again changed the development direction of the entire industry!"

...
"Go to the top of Hollywood, Hugo Lancaster's mythical journey!"
"Mr. 400 million is worthy of his name, 200 million plus 200 million, equals 500 million!"

...
From "Independence Day" itself, to Hugo Lancaster, and to the company's height, media across the United States reported the news that "Independence Day" had achieved historical achievements in the first place. In the era when the Internet was not yet popular, newspapers hanging in newspapers and magazines all followed the feat of the same news event on the front page. Apart from the presidential election, there was probably only "Independence Day".
Obviously, this work has already caused a sensation in the entire country. The box office of 500 million US dollars not only means breaking the history of film history, but also means the added value of culture. As a cultural soft output, the film industry will create immeasurable speculation for the United States. Whether it is to stimulate domestic demand or promote foreign trade, "Independence Day" has created a new model, reaching a new height, and further enhancing the strategic position of the film industry.
Not only paper media, but also TV media are very lively. According to incomplete statistics, within the three days of the weekend from September 27 to 29, the topics related to "Independence Day" and Hugo were mentioned more than 1,300 times on TV screens across the United States, far exceeding the presidential election, demonstrating the powerful power of this film.
Finally, the North American Cinema League exhibition relationship officially released the box office data on September 30. In the fourth week of September, the "Ex-Wife Club" won the championship with an outstanding 19% drop of $15 million, and achieved a championship again; while "Independence Day" delivered a 60% increase, with a weekend box office of $9.9 million, strongly returning to the runner-up position of this week's ranking.
At the same time, the cumulative box office of "Independence Day" thirteen weeks has officially reached 508.2 million! This is a set of data that writes history.
Starting from the grand premiere on July 3, "Independence Day" created a box office of 500 million US dollars in just 86 days, reaching an unprecedented historical height. People don't even know whether it was a box office of 500 million, or a result of such a result in 86 days. "Independence Day" reached a height that no work in the history of North American films could reach in less than three months. Such a feat would inevitably make people talk about even if it was twenty years later.
This also marks that "Independence Day" officially topped the box office in North American film history. This is not only Hugo's first work with a box office of over 300 million yuan, but also the first work to win the year-end box office, which is unimaginable. Although Hugo created a box office miracle every year, he has never won the championship in the year-end box office rankings. Now, although there are still three months left before the end of the year, "Independence Day" has announced in advance that it has ended all surprises.
However, since the release of "Independence Day", records have been set almost every day, so now I have won the first box office in film history, but there are not many surprises. This is a natural result.
From the Great White Sharks in 1975, to the Star Wars in 1977, to the Alien E.t in 1982, to the "Home Imp" in 1990, the Terminator 2 in 1991, and finally to the "Jurassic Park" in 1993, the "Forrest Gump" and the "Lion King" in 1994.
The increase in the box office of North American movies took a long journey, until the summer of 1996, and finally entered a brand new world. "Independence Day" first opened the door to a club with a pay of 20 million yuan, and then opened the door to a box office of 500 million yuan, showing Hollywood a brand new world.
What’s even more interesting is that “Independence Day” was released on July 4th, which is the Independence Day in the United States. This work not only started the madness of the Independence Day schedule, but also started the summer season fanaticism, and also triggered a riot in the film market. Every step of “Independence Day” is writing history. Perhaps, just like the name of a movie, this is the Independence Day that belongs to the film market. Starting today, we will enter a new era!
"Independence Day" created a midsummer dynasty in 1996. Even in North America twenty years later, there were first "Titanic", then "Avatar", and "Avengers", and more and more works that could break the records of "Independence Day" emerged, but no one could forget the midsummer dynasty in 1996, because this was the beginning of the North American film market's real commercialization, and "Independence Day" still set this record in the distant and ancient 1996, which was 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 be truly recorded in history and become an important coordinate in the history of North American film development.
Of course, more importantly, this is a dynasty created by Hugo, which also became the moment when Hugo truly topped the superstar. Although Hugo was already a unique superstar last year, the emergence of "Independence Day" not only shone with a bright light in the box office, but more importantly, it made up for Hugo's last shortcomings in commercial films and created an impeccable perfect superstar with a box office of 500 million US dollars. This is the best trophy!
The North American film market ushered in a box office of 500 million yuan for "Independence Day", but this land is only one of the territory of the midsummer dynasty of "Independence Day". In overseas markets outside North America, the performance of "Independence Day" is also unstoppable. As people have always expected, "Independence Day" continues the strength of North America and continues its own pace of creating history on a higher stage around the world.
