Still, to this day, there’s been no confirmation of Independence Day 3, but the streaming era holds promise for a potential sequel or series to revive the franchise sometime in the future. Director Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin took the world by storm with 1996’s Independence Day, which premiered over the July 4th weekend and became a blockbuster hit, grossing $817 million worldwide (via The Numbers). The bombastic alien invasion/disaster movie persists as a sci-fi action cult classic and has cemented Will Smith as a bona fide movie star for his portrayal of the lead character, Steven Hiller.
