In TheNineties, he traveled to Hollywood to direct his first blockbuster: ''Film/UniversalSoldier''. While it received less-than-kind reviews, the film made a decent amount of money in the USA, and made over twice the amount of money overseas. After this, he directed ''Film/{{Stargate}}'', which later kicked off its own [[Series/StargateSG1 TV series]] and [[Franchise/StargateVerse franchise]], and opened him the door to direct bigger and bigger films, with his most notable box office hit being ''Film/IndependenceDay''.

** In 2011, Columbia purchased a spec script from him named ''Singularity''. It entered DevelopmentHell [[https://collider.com/roland-emmerich-singularity-failed-blockbuster-what-happened/ during the following years, and doesn't seem to be leaving any time soon.]]
