After 20 years, this weekend finally marks the second chapter in the saga of 20th Century Fox and Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day franchise.
Independence Day: Resurgence is in theaters now.
After all, sometimes all that a movie needs is to provide a fun time for viewers in order to satisfy.
With Independence Day: Resurgence tracking at a likely domestic opening of between $40 to $60 million – a mere fraction of its gargantuan $165 million estimated production budget – one might be tempted to wonder why Emmerich is quite so confident that a third film will get made.
