Superstar

In the fourth week of July, the North American box office rankings continued to be dominated by "Independence Day", creating the highest weekend box office record of the fourth week in film history. The US$25 million was stupefied so that no other work had any temper, and it was completed undisputedly. Four consecutive championships!

The menacing but defeated "Moment of Killing" was in second place. Joe Schumacher's rebellion was declared bankrupt before it had time to begin. It was simply a thunderous momentum; otherwise, "different." Although "Independence Day" was in a dilemma, the follow-up box office trend was very good, winning 6 million US dollars at the weekend box office, ranking third; Weekend data of $5.7 million dominated the third place.

The newly released works this week have once again swept away. The premiere box office of "Ace Bowling" and "Police. Chase Story 4" is about 5.5 million. The former is slightly better, ranking fifth and sixth respectively; "Puppets" "Adventure" even more tragically earned only 3.8 million US dollars at the weekend box office, barely making it into the top ten, ranking eighth.

Although it has entered the fourth week of release, the dominance of "Independence Day" has not been weakened, and the dominance of the entire July has been completed with great strength; not only the North American box office, when "Independence Day" landed on the European market, Still showing a strong appeal, almost grabbing Britain and Germany with a sweeping attitude.

With the advent of the "Independence Day" crew, the European continent has set off an unprecedented frenzy. Almost the entire European media have turned their attention to London and Berlin where the crew arrived. This heat wave has also driven the enthusiasm of the people of the European continent. Although it is not comparable to the empty alleys in the United States, it is also bustling and crowded, showing an unprecedented viewing scene. Such enthusiasm is clearly displayed in front of everyone through box office data.

"Independence Day" was the first to be screened in the UK, and the capacity of 21 million U.S. dollars broke out on the weekend of the first week. It was born in a state of astonishment across the UK. This premiere box office not only easily broke the "Jurassic Park" before. It created a US$13 million premiere box office record, and it became the first weekend box office in British film history to break the 20 million threshold.

Compared with the American film market, the British market does not have such a strong explosive power. This small country has only 57 million people. The commercial operation of the film market is far behind the United States and Japan. Worldwide, the explosiveness of the British box office should not be underestimated. Perhaps they will find it difficult to become the champions of the overseas box office, but they can definitely be among the top five.

This time, "Independence Day" has topped the UK weekend box office rankings with record-breaking data, causing an uproar across the UK, because the US$20 million weekend box office looks like a height that cannot be reached at all. The British media predicted that "it is impossible for the UK to have a movie with a box office of over 20 million at the premiere weekend" within five years. This is not a lie.

Earlier, "Jurassic Park" won a box office of 13 million US dollars during its premiere weekend, and it has already shocked four people, because this is the first work in the history of the UK to exceed 10 million at the weekend box office. Since then, many movies have performed. They are all very good, but none of them can break the record of "Jurassic Park".

Now, just two years later, "Independence Day" not only broke the record of "Jurassic Park" which seemed to be impossible to surpass, but also directly raised the box office level of the premiere weekend from 10 million to 20 million. , This is absolutely a frightening feat that made the entire United Kingdom a sensation-a height that was once thought to be unattainable in five years, it was easily broken in the blink of an eye, and it was really shocking.

"Hugo-Lancaster invaded Britain", the headline of "The Times" once again landed on the headlines of major news papers in a scarlet posture. "Independence Day" was led by Hugo and spread throughout England. Mishima set off an unstoppable tornado. And this is just the beginning.

Germany, which held its premiere simultaneously with the United Kingdom, also ushered in the pace of "Independence Day" making history. Compared with the British market, Germany’s box office potential is even lower, especially because the main language here is German, and Hollywood movies are It will be affected more or less here, but even so, "Independence Day" still set off a movie storm on the German soil.

After reunification in 1991, Germany has been cultivating health for the past five years, and orderly restoring the country’s completely disrupted order and economy. For regions that have just experienced economic turmoil, what they need is hope. It's more motivating. The arrival of "Independence Day" is just right.

In the movie "Independence Day", all mankind united to face the attack of aliens, and finally relied on human teamwork to save the earth. This undoubtedly makes the Germans project strong psychological hints. The empathy of sympathy makes it easy for people to find the misty flames of hope through movies. This also makes the "Independence Day" very popular in Germany, a strong craze and even It surpassed the United Kingdom and triggered turbulent crowds in major cities, and even caused the "Bild ( to shout, "The grandeur of the empty streets in the United States is reappearing in Germany!"

As the daily newspaper with the largest circulation in Europe and Germany, Bild’s influence is enough to compete with the century-old “Times”. The importance of Bild on “Independence Day” has also reached a new height, not only in reporting. He praised the film a lot, and produced special reports for the crew for three consecutive years. Later, he also interviewed Helmut Cole (helmut.), then German Chancellor, to create momentum for the film.

Finally, the German people also responded to the diligent propaganda of Bild. The box office of 21.7 million U.S. dollars broke out on the weekend of the first week, which caused a sensation not only in Germany, but also in Europe!

Don’t underestimate the US$21.7 million box office data. Although it is only a little bit higher than that of the UK, this is the first time in the history of German cinema that the box office of a non-German and non-UK film surpassed that of the UK. It’s simple In terms of non-local films in these two countries, the British film market is much higher than the German film market.

Before "Independence Day", there was no foreign film in Germany that had a box office of more than US$10 million at its premier weekend. The current highest is the US$8 million of "Jurassic Park"—Germany is more than the United Kingdom. Small movie market.

But this time, the box office of "Independence Day" in Germany's premiere weekend not only created history and surpassed the UK's data for the same period, but even more frightening was that it became the first German film history to have a weekend box office of more than 20 million US dollars. . Before that, only two local German films had premiered in the German market with a box office of over 10 million. Now, "Independence Day" has created an unsurpassed historical record in one fell swoop—perhaps a record that will be difficult to break within ten years. .

No wonder the "Bild" will declare that "the grandeur of the empty streets in the United States is reappearing in Germany". It can be said that almost the whole of Germany has become a sensation and is fanatical for "Independence Day". In modern history, few countries can truly feel the meaning of the phrase "We want to fight for freedom...We want to celebrate our Independence Day..." The thoughts of the German people who could not be rebuilt for a long time after the devastation of World War II, and the thoughts of the German people who were struggling after breaking the fetters of the Berlin Wall in five years. This is a spirit that is compatible with blood. Endless enthusiasm erupted from the land.

"Independence Day" broke out in the UK and Germany two markets with a premier weekend box office of 20 million, even if it is one of the few in the world, currently only the United States and Japan can have this explosive power in the world. In 1996, when commercial development was generally not perfect, the box office of 20 million at the premiere weekend was almost a sweeping force—it was completely equivalent to the US$80 million in the North American market at the premiere weekend.

Now, the whole world is boiling.

Even more frightening is that this is still not the whole story.
