Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Lost World has soared straight to the top of the UK box office chart after a hugely successful opening - but it has not beaten last summer's epic Independence Day.
Despite being hampered by a parental guidance certificate, which states some scenes may be unsuitable for children under eight, Steven Spielberg's pounds 48m sequel to Jurassic Park scooped a pounds 5.66m opening weekend gross. Independence Day, which also starred Jeff Goldblum, took about pounds 7m in its first three days on release last August. The Lost World sold out many cinemas across Britain and has snapped up 73 per cent of business for the weekend. Jurassic Park opened in 1993 with a gross of pounds 4.87m and went on to earn pounds 562m worldwide.
