Director Roland Emmerich predicted that it could happen and today it has become official: while 20th Century Fox originally had the upcoming Independence Day 2 dated for July 3, 2015, today the studio has opted to push the project back a full year. Box Office Mojo reports that the long awaited sequel is now scheduled to come out on July 1, 2016. Those who have been paying attention to shifts in the release calendar probably predicted this move a long time ago. Not only did Emmerich openly say two months ago that the 2015 release date was temporary, but around that exact same time Paramount Pictures moved the date of their upcoming Terminator reboot to the same weekend - a very aggressive move that may have forced Fox's hand. Summer 2015 is already overloaded with blockbusters like Joss Whedon's The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Zack Snyder's Batman vs. Superman, Colin Trevorrow's Jurassic World, Edgar Wright's Ant-Man, »
