Superstar

In the first week of August 1996, the strong performance of "Independence Day" made this week a seven-day history in the history of North American cinema. At the same time, "Independence Day" has also made a step by step in overseas markets outside North America. Towards a new historical record.

In the first week of July, South American countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and North America premiered the film "Independence Day" simultaneously. In the third week of July, "Independence Day" took the lead in taking the lead in the British and German film markets, opening up Europe. Sweeping the box office; in the first week of August, only six countries around the world screened "Independence Day", but they achieved amazing results for everyone.

"Independence Day" not only created a 20 million-level premiere box office in the United Kingdom and Germany, creating a new history, but also achieved a 10 million-level premiere box office in Brazil, Argentina and other countries. In the history of the Americas, in the past month, "Independence Day" actually swept the box office data of 140 million U.S. dollars!

Only six countries and regions! One hundred and forty million dollars!

Although this data does not seem so shocking compared to the box office of more than 300 million U.S. dollars in North America within a month of "Independence Day", it is harvested in the relatively barren overseas box office market, so performance. It is completely comparable to the North American market.

In addition, European countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and Germany, as well as South American countries such as Argentina and Brazil, and China in Asia. country. delicious. Hong Kong and China. country. tower. Bay and South Korea can also be included, and they are both important ticket properties in overseas regions.

However, the reason why Hollywood in the United States can become the center of global film—at least the center of commercial films is because the North American film market has a very strong box office pulling ability. There are 22 works that have earned 200 million US dollars in the box office in North America. However, there are only 31 works with a box office of 200 million US dollars in overseas markets.
