中國(guó)電影票房復(fù)蘇:《戰(zhàn)狼2》票房突破12億
After a lackluster series of months, the Chinese film industry finally has a homegrown summer
blockbuster on its hands.
在持續(xù)幾個(gè)月的低迷狀態(tài)后,中國(guó)的電影行業(yè)終于推出了屬于自己的夏季大片。
Actor-director Wu Jing's Wolf Warrior 2, a sequel to his 2015 film of the same name, opened Thursday to $15 million before pulling in an enormous $131 million over the weekend.
《戰(zhàn)狼2》是動(dòng)作片導(dǎo)演吳京2015年同名電影的續(xù)集,周四一上映,《戰(zhàn)狼2》的票房就已經(jīng)達(dá)到1.5億美元,上周結(jié)束時(shí)票房總計(jì)13億美元。
The action flick surpassed the first Wolf Warrior film's entire $86 million run in less than three days, while dominating The Founding of an Army, the much-hyped state propaganda film about the establishment of the People's Liberation Army, which also opened Thursday.
這部影片上映不到三天,便超過(guò)了《戰(zhàn)狼1》的總投資額8600萬(wàn)美元,同時(shí)也力壓《建軍大業(yè)》。之前被炒作得沸沸揚(yáng)揚(yáng)的《建軍大業(yè)》與《戰(zhàn)狼2》是同一天上映,前者講述了中國(guó)人民解放軍的創(chuàng)建的經(jīng)歷。
Hollywood is conspicuously absent from the Middle Kingdom this month, thanks to China's usual policy of blocking international competition from the market during the busy summer blockbuster season.
顯然,由于中國(guó)在暑期依舊采取限制進(jìn)口片的政策,好萊塢電影本月暫時(shí)缺席中國(guó)電影市場(chǎng)。
But traces of the U.S. industry's fingerprints could still be detected on Wolf Warrior 2's success.
然而在《戰(zhàn)狼2》突出的票房成績(jī)中,我們依舊可以看到美國(guó)元素的蛛絲馬跡。
Marvel mainstays Joe and Anthony Russo, co-directors of the Captain America franchise, consulted on the film via their Chinese studio venture Anthem & Song, which has strategic partnership with Beijing Culture Media Company, one of the local production companies behind Wolf Warrior.
曾聯(lián)合指導(dǎo)了《美國(guó)隊(duì)長(zhǎng)》系列漫威公司臺(tái)柱子喬伊和安東尼·羅素通過(guò)自己在中國(guó)的工作室為《戰(zhàn)狼2》做顧問(wèn),這個(gè)名為Anthem & Song的工作室與北京文化傳播有限公司建立了戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系,而后者正是《戰(zhàn)狼》系列的制作公司。
Universal's Despicable Me 3 landed in third place for the weekend, earning $3.7 million. After four weeks on Chinese screens, the film has earned $146 million.
環(huán)球公司出品的《卑鄙的我3》本周位居第三,票房為370萬(wàn)美元。這部影片在中國(guó)上映4周,總票房為14.6億美元。
