TOKYO – “Independence Day: Resurgence” won its first weekend at the Japanese box office, with the promise of more victories to come. Opening on 963 screens with 20thCentury Fox distributing, the film earned $5.57 million in its first two days on release from 382,000 admissions.

The earlier “Independence Day” bowed in Japan in December, 1996 and finished with nearly $110 million. By comparison, the 2016 follow-up seems likely to end its run near the $35 million mark — still a major hit for a Hollywood film in Japan these days.

The only other new entry to the top ten, in tenth, was “Kingsglaive Final Fantasy XV,” a CG sci-fi fantasy based on a popular game of the same title. With Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and Aniplex co-distributing, the film opened on 44 screens and took $347,000. The film is set to bow in the U.S. on Aug. 19, with Stage 6 Films releasing.

Meanwhile, last week’s number one, “Alice in Wonderland,” slipped to second place while numbers three “To Young To Die!” and number four “Zootopia” also fell by one rank.
