神鬼認證3熱力燃燒 票房超越七千萬美元
Jason Bourne may have finally discovered his true identity: box-office record-breaker.
The Bourne Ultimatum raked in $70.2 million this weekend, according to studio estimates from box-office trackers Nielsen EDI.
Jason Bourne 似乎總算找到了他真正的身分:一位持續打破票房紀錄的創造者.
根據知名的電影票房預估媒體 Nielsen EDI 的統計,於上週末(8/3)甫上映的"神鬼認證三-最後通牒"(The Bourne Ultimatum)
已創下超越七千萬美元的票房紀錄.
The third installment of the Matt Damon franchise enjoyed the largest debut for a film opening in August, handily beating 2001's Rush Hour 2, which opened to $67.4 million. Bourne also took in $15 million more than the most optimistic projections.
由影星 Matt Damon 擔綱主角的神鬼認證系列第三部曲在炎熱的八月天以新片上映的身分贏得好成績,
其票房紀錄輕易的超越了於2001年上映,由成龍等巨星所主演的"尖峰時刻2"創下的六千七百萬的開片紀錄.
神鬼認證三的票房也超越了上映前最樂觀的票房預估達一千五百萬美元之多.
The question now is whether Damon will return to the series about an amnesiac spy.
現在的問題是, Matt Damon 是否願意繼續扮演這位記憶喪失的間諜.
He has expressed doubts. "After a while it would become 'The Bourne Redundancy,' " he told USA TODAY before the movie opened. "I'm not sure there's a fourth story to be told."
他對於此問題抱持著有些疑惑的態度.
"不久以後就會出現'無止境的神鬼認證'" 在電影上映之前,他對 USA TODAY 發表如此的意見.
"我不確定這個故事會不會繼續下去,並且拍成這個系列的第四集"
Universal Pictures executives hope he changes his mind. "We have not discussed a sequel," says Nikki Rocco, the studio's head of distribution. "But I think this could run like James Bond," a franchise that has taken in $4.5 billion worldwide over its 22-film history.
環球電影公司的執行部門則希望他改變心意.
"我們並沒有討論有關續集的部分." Nikki Rocco,環球工作室的發片商總監如是說.
"但我認為或許這部片可以走龐德路線." 頂頂有名的龐德系列迄今已達22集,並且賺取全球四十五億美金以上的票房收益.
Certainly, Bourne compares well to 007. Ultimatum crushed any opening for a Bond film. The largest was 2002's Die Another Day, which made its debut at $47 million.
無庸置疑的,神鬼認證相對於龐德系列毫不遜色.神鬼認證三-最後通牒所達成的開片紀錄打敗了每一部龐德系列電影.
龐德系列中,開片票房紀錄最佳的是2002年所上映的"誰與爭鋒",其票房紀錄為四千七百萬美元.
"Even with the high expectations it faced, this is an impressive opening," says Gitesh Pandya of BoxOfficeGuru.com. "August can be a tricky month."
"雖然外界的預測普遍偏高,但這的確是個令人印象深刻的開場." Gitesh Pandya 於 BoxOfficeGuru.com 的意見.
"八月將會是個有趣的月份."
That's particularly true when the movie is the 11th sequel of the summer.
當這部片以這個夏天的第十一部電影的排序推出時,這個意見顯然十分正確.
"A lot of people will drop out of a franchise by the third film," he says, noting that ticket sales for the third installments of Spider-Man, Shrek and Pirates of the Caribbean fell short of the second films. "People can get sequeled-out quickly unless you deliver something new."
"很多人並不會繼續欣賞一部電影的第三部續曲," 發表此般意見的同時,他也提到了如蜘蛛人,史瑞克和神鬼奇航等,
首部曲與續集之間的巨大票房落差.
"除非在續集中加入新意,否則大眾很容易喪失繼續看下去的慾望."
Pandya says Bourne could survive without Damon, but it would be unlikely.
Pandya 表示,神鬼認證在沒有 Matt Damon 的出演下或許可以繼續下去,但也有同樣的風險在此畫下句點.
"Everyone thought the Bond movies were done when Sean Connery dropped out, so it can be done," he says. "But I wouldn't advise it. Matt Damon is iconic in this role. My advice would be to wait two years, then pay him whatever he wanted to bring him back."
"大家都覺得龐德系列在沒有了老牌巨星 Sean Connery 的參與後形同正式結束,同樣的事情也有可能發生在神鬼認證上." 他說.
"但我並不想要如此. Matt Damon 已成為這個角色的指標性人物,我的建議是:等個兩年,看他想要多少都可以,不計任何代價請他回來演出."
