It catapulted Smith to A-list star status. When Independence Day opened in July 1996, it racked up opening records for the July 4th holiday with $96.1M in its first six days at the domestic B.O., with a U.S./Canada total of $306.2M and $817.4M worldwide. That projection for Resurgence doesn’t come close to recent tentpole reboots like Jurassic World and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, each of which made $200M-plus record debuts. Here, it is on course to take second place with an opening between $45M-$52M. where it’s expected to be thrown out of the No. Those results will likely save Resurgence from its sinkhole here in the U.S. Making Resurgence available to the UK press is likely a safer bet for Fox: Its overseas launch is expected to rake in $100M-$150M from China, Russia, the UK and Latin America this weekend. Fox’s tactics to control word of mouth come at a time when studios are daunted by the power of critic aggregation sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic and their increasing impact on a film’s opening weekend. Fortunately, its numbers in China ($205M-plus) and other overseas territories ($135M) has helped the $170M film from being a fast red ink write-down after terrible results in the U.S ($39.3M). Predator ($38.3M FSS).Ĭontrast that to Universal, screening Warcraft in advance for critics and watching the film get savaged. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra ($54.7M FSS) and Fox with 2004’s Alien Vs. results were achieved, such as Paramount with 2008’s Cloverfield ($40M opening), 2009’s G.I. There have been limited instances in the past when studios held the press completely back from advance screenings, and in such cases, decent B.O. But Independence Day: Resurgence - which has benefited in buzz from limited sampling for critical aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes - might well sneak out a decent opening weekend. Such unconventional moves by a major studio for a $165M-$200M sequel 20 years in the making sends up warning flags to U.S.
