Box office preview: 'Other Guys' targeting the top slot

by Nicole Sperling
Categories: Box Office, Movie Biz, News

The Other Guys is not likely to open as big as Talladega Nights, but it
should be one of Will Ferrell’s top bows of his career. The film will
strike deep into last weekend’s comedy Dinner for Schmucks, likely
cutting the film’s opening weekend at least in half.

B咖戰警的首映票房，不可能跟"王牌飆風"一樣高
但它還是可望擠進威爾法洛歷年開映票房的前段班
本片將會給上週才剛上映的另一喜劇"愚人晚餐"一記重擊
將後者的票房至少砍掉一半

But nothing will stop Inception. The film will lose its first-place
standing after three weeks, but after crossing $200 million, there is
little that can keep Inception from reaching what could be a $300 million
gross. The other new wide release, Disney’s Step Up 3D should also have
a respectable bow, with young girls the primary target for the film.

但全面啟動還是一道無法阻擋的力量
儘管"全"片在稱霸三個禮拜之後，終將要離開它的冠軍寶座
不過在成功跨越兩億美金門檻之後，全片也很有機會挑戰三億美金

本週的另一新片，迪士尼的舞力全開3
在以少女作為主要觀眾群的情形下，應該也能開出值得尊重的成績

Read on for my predictions

以下是本週預測

1. The Other Guys: $36 million
Opening in 3,650 theaters, The Other Guys should out-gross Step Brothers,
the last project from the duo of director Adam McKay and Ferrell,
which bowed in summer 2008 to $30 million.

Reviews have been solid and audiences seem to enjoy seeing Mark Wahlberg
play against type in the comedy. A strong supporting cast of Eva Mendes,
Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, and Michael Keaton help sell the case
too. This film should be a hit for Sony Pictures.

1.B咖戰警：3600萬美金
在3650家戲院的加持下，B咖戰警的首週票房
應該可以超越法洛與導演合作的上部作品"爛兄爛弟"
（前年上映的後者，首週的票房是3千萬）

B片目前的影評相當穩固（爛番茄好評度77%）
觀眾看起來也相當享受觀賞馬克華柏格一同搞笑
加上強健的卡司，如山穆傑克森、巨石強森、伊娃曼德絲與米高基頓的加持
本片可望成為索尼影業今年的賣座片之一

2. Inception: $19 million
Never falling more than 35 percent since it opened in mid-July, Inception has
now earned $205 million. Expect it to hit close to $230 after this weekend in
theaters, where it will be in second place for this first time since it began
its impressive run.

2.全面啟動：1900萬美金
全片從7月中旬上映以來，跌幅從未超過35%
這也讓本片目前已經累積超過2億的票房
本週全片雖然無可避免地要交出王位，不過仍然可望在週末把數字推進到2.3億

3. Step Up 3D: $18 million
Step Up and Step Up 2: The Streets opened to $20 million and $18 million
respectively. And that was before So You Think You Can Dance — a show that
boasts Step Up 3D producer Adam Shankman as judge — became a popular series.

Considering the third iteration of this franchise is in 3-D, you would think
the opening weekend would be a lot bigger. Tracking suggests a number in line
with the past two films, which means that either there is enough dance on
television to keep fans sated or 3-D has already lost its appeal.

3.舞力全開3D：1800萬美金
舞出真我與舞力全開上映時都開出值得尊敬的穩定票房
不過這一切都發生在"美國舞王爭霸戰"－
這個讓本系列電影製片亞當山克曼受邀擔任評審的高收視節目播出之前

儘管你可能會認為類似的題材3D化，票房可能會因此升高
然而，最新的調查結果卻暗示第三集跟前兩集不會相差太多
這可能表示兩種情形:
A.太多的舞蹈電影已經讓影迷有點反胃
B.3D已經逐漸失去它的吸引力

4. Dinner for Schmucks: $11 million
The Steve Carell-Paul Rudd laugher has reached $30 million, thanks to decent
mid-week numbers. But expect at least a 50 percent — or higher — fall for
this movie’s sophomore session. Seems Schmucks has got nothing on the
broader-based Other Guys.

4.愚人晚餐：1100萬美金
史帝夫卡爾與保羅路德合作的爆笑喜劇
在周間穩定的成績下，已經將累積票房達到3千萬
但愚片在第二週至少會有一半的跌幅
因為本片無法抵擋觀眾群更廣的B咖戰警

5. Salt: $10 million
At $76 million after two weeks in release, Salt is another summer hit for
Sony Pictures. Expect a 50 percent fall off this weekend, but the film should
still cross the $100 million mark soon.

5.特務間諜：1千萬美金
本片在兩週內已經有超過7千萬的票房，是索尼影業今年又一暑假賣座片
雖然本週會有50%的跌幅，但裘莉要再多一部全美破億的電影
應該不是問題

In limited release, Paramount Vantage is opening Middle Men on 200-some
theaters, while Warner Bros. is bowing Rob Reiner’s latest coming-of-age
story Flipped in New York and Los Angeles before taking it wide at the end of
the month. Patricia Clarkson’s Cairo Time will also make its debut in some
five locations this weekend.

本週其他值得注意的小規模上映電影則有
＃Middle Men
路克威爾森主演的劇情喜劇，上映戲院有200家

＃Flipped
勞柏雷納描述小孩成長的故事，在月底大規模上映之前
本週先在紐約與洛杉磯上映

＃Cairo Time
派崔西亞克拉克森主演的文藝片，首週會在五個大城市上映

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

最後依照慣例附上BoxOfficeMojo.com的網友平均預測
1 The Other Guys $31.6
2 Inception $18.7
3 Step Up 3-D $17.6
4 Dinner for Schmucks $13.1
5 Salt $11.0
6 Despicable Me $9.7
7 Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore $6.4
8 Charlie St. Cloud $6.0
9 Toy Story 3 $3.4
10 Grown Ups $2.6

看樣子美國的冠軍要換人了，只是台灣至少要等到11月！（嘆）
