Summer is over, but the "summer vacation" that belongs to the North American film market is still not over. The strong momentum of "Independence Day" began in the first week of July, sweeping July, sweeping August, and colliding. September.

In the overall downturn in September, "Independence Day" could not find a competitor at all. In the first week of September, it fell by 25%, and the weekend box office was 10.7 million, and it achieved ten consecutive championships; In the second week of the month, the decline was as high as 27%. The weekend box office fell below the 10 million level for the first time. Although it only earned 7.8 million U.S. dollars, it still defeated a number of opponents without any competitiveness and won itself again. The momentum of the championship lasted for eleven weeks!

Although the box office at the weekend officially dropped by 10 million, "Independence Day" continued the pace of its own history. The eleventh week of the weekend box office data of $7.8 million still became the eleventh week of movie history. The record holder at the weekend box office defeated the original record holder "Aladdin" by a small margin of less than $150,000.

In this way, in the eleven weeks since "Independence Day" was released, it has undisputedly won the championship for eleven weeks in a row, and it has also earned all the historical box office records of the weekend box office in the first eleven weeks after the release of a movie in film history. In the bag, completely completed the screen refreshing work.

At the same time, "Independence Day" brought the number of consecutive championship weeks to double digits, becoming the first work to be able to win the championship for more than ten weeks after "Home Alone" in 1990. It also became the summer archive in North America. Since the birth of a concept, the first ever work that has been able to win the championship for more than eight weeks. At present, "Independence Day" has achieved 11 consecutive championships. On the film history list, it is only ranked among "Beverly Hills Detective", "Mr. Duss", and aspirations who also won 13 consecutive championships. After twelve consecutive titles of "Home Alone", it ranks fourth in film history!

Carrying a strong momentum of eleven consecutive championships, "Independence Day" brought its cumulative box office to 488 million US dollars in one breath, and the "500 million US dollars" that I thought would never be touched unexpectedly happened in a blink of an eye. It's close at hand, within reach, just a step away.

While people still think that the US$400 million box office is the limit of the North American film market, "Independence Day" easily broke this shackle and moved towards a higher realm that no one had ever imagined. Who would have thought that Leonardo's joke would now come true.

In eleven weeks, with a total of 488 million U.S. dollars and only 12 million U.S. dollars in box office data, "Independence Day" can create an all-time high that no one could ever dream of. According to Hollywood movies According to market experience, considering factors such as the release time, box office declines in the tenth and eleventh weeks, and the current audience popularity, this little distance is not a problem at all. It is absolutely not a problem for "Independence Day" to break through the sky. The question is "when" and when will "Independence Day" make this history?

Therefore, not only the general audience, but also the news media, film practitioners, and the behind-the-scenes leaders of major film companies, as well as the authority figures of Wall Street who control the lifeblood of the economy... the entire Hollywood, the entire North America Society and the entire world are watching the progress of "Independence Day", and everyone is looking forward to the day when history is created.

Just when all eyes were on "Independence Day", in the third week of September, the North American film market had a sudden change, and the "ex-wife club (the...club was born, ending the "Independence Day". 11 consecutive titles, topping the box office rankings of North American movies this week!

Because "Independence Day" shows that the reality is too strong, no one can shake its dominance even in the summer file where strong players gather. In the empty and boring September, naturally no one would imagine that there could be works threatening "Independence Day." In addition to "Independence Day" in the first two weeks, the best box office at the weekend was only more than 7 million U.S. dollars. There is no threat at all. What's more, people are now concerned about "Independence Day." When did the cumulative box office really cross the historical boundary? Instead, no one paid much attention to the weekend box office rankings in North America.

Under such circumstances, the "ex-wife club" rebellion caused almost all the media to be in chaos. "'Ex-wife club' ends'Independence Day' in the 11th week!" News headlines like this are all over the United States overnight. The time to prepare, the time to change the dynasty has just arrived.

"Ex-Wife Club" was released by Paramount Pictures, with an investment of only 26 million U.S. dollars, starring Diane Keaton and Maggie Smith. As a comedy movie, Paramount was not right at all. There is too much hope for the movie, but the scale of the two thousand screenings is not even comparable to the "last.man." newly released this week.

The "Ultimate Titans" produced and released by New Line Pictures invested a full US$67 million, starring Bruce Willis, and released in 2,600 theaters. It is considered a challenge this week. A strong contender for the 12th consecutive title of Independence Day.

However, "Ultimate Titans" as a thriller action film overlaps with "Independence Day" to some extent, so the market potential is limited; secondly, Bruce's situation in the last two years is really ordinary, "Die Hard 3" "The box office was flat, and "Twelve Monkeys" was again robbed of the limelight by Brad. Therefore, people do not think that the "ultimate Titans" have the ability to pull "Independence Day" off the horse.

This is indeed the case. The "Ultimate Titans" only received 7 million US dollars in box office data for the premiere weekend. For an investment of 67 million US dollars, it was a drop in the bucket. Although this work has just premiered, it has already been announced at the box office. It was a fiasco. But who could have predicted that the "Ultimate Titans" could not do anything, but let the "ex-wife club" complete.

As a comedy, "Ex-Wife Club" was very popular in the cold September. In the third week of September, it grabbed $19 million in box office data for three days in the third week of September. This result is from the first week of July. Since the release of "Independence Day", the most outstanding premiere data in the second half of the summer. Even if it is placed in the previous few weeks, it has the ability to compete with "Independence Day"-of course, if it is the previous few weeks, instead of September, the "ex-wife club" may not be able to receive so much attention. Timing is a delicate matter.

Facing the strong performance of the “ex-wife club” against the sky, the “Independence Day” that entered the twelfth week of the screening naturally could not burst with such a powerful energy, and could only give up the throne, ending the eleven weeks of “Independence Day”. In the world, this not only declares that "Independence Day" has missed the consecutive championship record of "Home Alone", but also officially announces that "Independence Day"'s unparalleled magical performance in 1996 has finally reached a stage for the time being.

In the end, in the third week of September, "Independence Day" surrendered a 20% drop in the box office, grabbing $6.2 million in the box office for three days over the weekend, and ranked among the "ex-wife clubs" on the weekend box office rankings in North America this week. "And "Ultimate Titans", ranked third.

Although the eleventh-week dynasty of "Independence Day" is temporarily over, this does not mean that the pace of record-setting has slowed down. On the contrary, the 20% box office drop this week has once again delivered a magical answer sheet, which also makes The impact of "Independence Day" is a big step forward with 500 million US dollars. It is very likely that "Independence Day" will make this history before the arrival of October!

11 consecutive championships in the summer file, this record can already be pronounced in advance and cannot be broken, maybe...maybe it is possible in other schedules, for example, "Yihai Xiongfeng" created eight consecutive championships in the winter file, but in the summer. However, it is difficult to surpass because the competition will only become fiercer and the opponents will only become stronger and stronger. Three consecutive championships are an arduous task. Eleven consecutive titles? Totally impossible.

Therefore, with the aspiration of the "Pre-Club", "Independence Day" officially has a strong record of no one before and no one in the future: 11 consecutive championships in the summer file!

After the change of dynasty, the "ex-wife club" is obviously very popular with the audience. It has completed three consecutive championships with super high popularity, and the cumulative box office has directly exceeded 60 million US dollars, and it is hoped that it will hit the ultra-high threshold of 100 million US dollars. For a comedy with an investment of only 26 million U.S. dollars, it is definitely a big win, even far better than "Ace Specialist".

Kim Kerry lay down the gun again. As one of the only two members of the 20 million club, although Kim did nothing wrong, nor actively provoked or competed, he still inevitably became a topic of media ridiculeAce Specialist "Although "Independence Day" and "Independence Day" are not eligible for direct positive comparison because of the different themes, this is life. The stronger the performance of "Independence Day", the more sad Jin's life will be, and it is completely a disaster.

After the end of his midsummer dynasty, the performance of "Independence Day" still showed no signs of decline. After the end of 11 consecutive championships, "Independence Day" ushered in a new round of movie watching frenzy in the fourth week of September. The United States organized a huge movie-watching event to unite all fans, and everyone gathered to sprint historical records, even the "Tonight Show", "Oprah Talk Show", "Saturday Night Live" and other programs They all call on people to walk into the cinema and join the heat wave of collective movie watching.

Although it has not been able to hit the twelve consecutive championships, the box office of Independence Day ushered in a pick-up during the weekend of the fourth week of September. The box office soared by 60% this week and became the North American box office ranking list this week. The only one among them to hand over the increase in green letters.

More importantly, the weekend box office performance on Independence Day last week was very good, and this week even counterattacked to hand over the increase, which means...this means...500 million US dollars at the box office! The cumulative box office of "Independence Day" finally surpassed 500 million U.S. dollars, and it became a unique existence in North American film history in a true sense!

Five hundred million dollars, it really appeared!
