      'Independence Day 2' Underwhelms With $41.6M; 'Finding Dory' Sprints to $73.2M

      By Pamela McClintock, The Hollywood Reporter Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day: Resurgence failed to ignite the biggest fireworks at the North American office, where it came in behind expectations with an estimated $41.6 million from 4,068 theaters. The popcorn tentpole was no match for holdover Finding Dory, which continued to wow in its second weekend, paddling to an estimated $73.2 million from 4,305 theaters. Independence Day 2 placed No. 2 behind Dory in North America, while topping the foreign chart. Emmerich’s film sports a hefty net budget of $165 million and was made without Will Smith, who opted to sit out the sequel.

      With only seven weeks to go until Independence Day: Resurgence arrives in theaters, it’s clearly time to get prepared. With that in mind, 20th Century Fox has released a “documentary” about the war of 1996 that fills in the blanks between what happened post-alien invasion in Independence Day and where the world stands now. “As we near the 20th anniversary celebration of the world’s victory, we celebrate the heroes of the war of 1996,” broadcaster George Ropata announces in this United World News special.

      CinemaCon: Sela Ward Studied Hillary Clinton to Play First Female President in 'Independence Day: Resurgence'

      Sela Ward takes over the ranks from the 1996 original film’s heroic POTUS, Bill Pullman (whose ex-President Whitmore returns), playing President Lanford. “We don’t have a lot of role models for female presidents, obviously, since there hasn’t been one,” said Ward, who last collaborated with director Roland Emmerich in another disaster flick, 2004’s The Day After Tomorrow. How she worked the podium, how she delivered speeches to her audience, how composed she stayed.” Ward also studied footage of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, though noted “she’s not as expressive as Hillary.” Related: Jeff Goldblum Made ‘Independence Day Resurgence’ Cast Sing, Answer Movie Trivia in Between Takes The actress described Lanford as “sane, thoughtful” and “very strong, decisive, and not afraid to use force,” which should come in handy when hostile extraterrestrials once again rain hellfire down upon Earth (and destroy a national monument or two) in Resurgence. Vivica A. Fox and Sela Ward at CinemaCon “I think it’s prophetic, not really because of the female president because who knows what’s going to happen in the election,” she said.

      Jeff Goldblum Made 'Independence Day: Resurgence' Cast Sing, Answer Movie Trivia in Between Takes

      If you’ve ever had the distinct pleasure of seeing Jeff Goldblum play jazz — when not filming, the actor has a weekly residency at Rockwell in Los Angeles — you know the entertainment extends beyond the musical tunes. In between songs with his Mildred Snitcher Orchestra, the energetic actor floats around the venue floor, works the crowd, and often drills them with movie trivia.   The New Mexico set of Independence Day: Resurgence sounds like it very much resembled a Jeff Goldblum jam session. “On set, he would choose a song, and then we would all have to harmonize a song,” Maika Monroe (It Follows) told Yahoo Movies shortly after new footage for the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster Independence Day premiered at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
