(来源：MovieSoon)据电影公司方面的初步数据，本周末两部翻拍片——索尼的《功夫梦》(Karate Kid)和福克斯的《天龙特攻队》(The A-Team)票房相差较大：威尔-史密斯(Will Smith)儿子贾登主演的《功夫梦》票房夺冠. 也许贾登-史密斯真的从他爹那里继承了票房吸金的基因？
由中影集团和美国哥伦比亚公司联合出品，威尔·史密斯监制，其子贾登·史密斯和成龙联袂主演的功夫喜剧大片《功夫梦》于当地时间6月11日在北美公映。据美国哥伦比亚公司透露，《功夫梦》北美首日票房即告大捷，强力吸金1880万美元，并且因为电影里成龙的出色表现和诸多中国元素的呈现，获得了美国影评人的一致好评。
北美首日票房告捷 吸金1880万美元
据美国哥伦比亚公司透露，《功夫梦》在北美的首日票房1880万美元，如果按票价7美元计算，当日有近286万人观看了这部电影。对于首日取得这样的的票房成绩，一直非常看好这部电影的美方院线负责人表示：“《功夫梦》的成绩远远超过同档期的《罗宾汉》1300万美元的成绩，可见史密斯和成龙在北美的票房号召力。之前我们的3400家影院每天放映10多万场，已经不能满足观众的观影需要，各大影院正在协调加场的相关事宜。”另片方负责人透露，因为《功夫梦》在北美取得的高票房，将于七八月份上映本片的中欧、西欧、东南亚等国家纷纷要求加大发行量，片方现在也正在抓紧时间加印拷贝。
成龙、中国元素大受欢迎 美国影评人好评如潮
影片票房大捷的同时也好评如潮，《功夫梦》里诸如长城、鸟巢、少林武当功夫等中国原素和成龙的出色表现也大受欢迎。著名影评人罗杰·艾伯特对《功夫梦》给予了四颗星中的三颗半星的好评，他还特别肯定了电影精良的摄影制作，再加上长城、故宫、鸟巢等取景更是增添了影片视觉上的美感。同时，罗杰对成龙在片中的角色，给予了充分的肯定。他表示，“成龙恰当地运用了他特有的幽默感，并以低调沉稳的演出保证了角色本身的神秘性。”《纽约时报》的评论人A.O. Scott与罗杰一样肯定了片中的中国元素，“鸟巢等现代化建筑让我看到了日新月异的中国，少林功夫、太极拳等更是向世界展现了中国对于传统文化保护。”《今日美国》影评人Claudia Puig也认为《功夫梦》与大部分好莱坞电影有着不同的气质。据专业人士分析，按照如此势头发展下去，《功夫梦》的首周末票房就将达到6000万，“这个成绩远远超过我们的预期，《功夫梦》将成为名副其实的票房黑马。”
Sony's remake of 1984's "The Karate Kid" debuted at No. 1 for the weekend with a whopping $56 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The big-screen adaptation of the 1980s TV series "The A-Team" came in at less than half that, the 20th Century Fox release opening in second place with $26 million.
After three weekends at No. 1, DreamWorks Animation's "Shrek Forever After" slipped to No. 3 with $15.8 million. The animated hit raised its domestic haul to $210.1 million, becoming the fourth movie released this year to top $200 million.
With a relatively modest production budget of $40 million, "The Karate Kid" far exceeded the studio's expectations. Early on, Sony executives would have been happy if the movie opened to half its $56 million debut weekend, said Rory Bruer, the studio's head of distribution.
Those expectations began to rise once the studio realized it had a crowd-pleaser on its hands, Bruer said.
"It's just an unmitigated grand slam hit," said Bruer, who also worked on distribution for the 1984 version. "I loved the original `Karate Kid,' but they took this beloved title, and they made it relevant, fresh and absolutely exciting."
The big opening for "The Karate Kid" gave Hollywood a boost after a weak start to the summer season. "Iron Man 2" opened big the first weekend in May, but the box office has lagged since then.
With his first lead role, 11-year-old Smith had an opening weekend that stacked up well against the track record of his superstar father, Will Smith, who has had only two debuts bigger than "The Karate Kid" ("I Am Legend" at $77.2 million and "Hancock" at $62.6 million). Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith are producers on "The Karate Kid."
"It's like, `Who's the biggest star now, dad?'" said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. "It proves the box-office apple doesn't fall far from the money tree in that household."
1. "The Karate Kid," $56 million.
2. "The A-Team," $26 million.
3. "Shrek Forever After," $15.8 million.
4. "Get Him to the Greek," $10.1 million.
5. "Killers," $8.2 million.
6. "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," $6.6 million.
7. "Marmaduke," $6 million.
8. "Sex and the City 2," $5.5 million.
9. "Iron Man 2," $4.6 million.
10. "Splice," $2.9 million. |
