Box Office Preview
'Bangkok Dangerous': Can It Make a Killing?

「無聲火」會殺出重圍嗎？

Nicolas Cage's violent action remake may not earn much, but its take should
be enough to win the top spot on a slow weekend

尼可拉斯凱吉的暴力動作片改拍也許不會賺很多錢，但是應該可以在這個小週末勝出

This weekend sees the return of school, homework, the NFL...and box office
lethargy! Yep, the slow season soldiers on at the multiplex: While studios
spent the past few frames dumping their summer leftovers into theaters, this
time around they're all basically taking the weekend off. Releasing nothing.
Nada. Well, with one exception — the Nicolas Cage Asian-action remake
Bangkok Dangerous. Think it'll win? See what I have to say below, and then
take your own shot in EW.com's all-new Fall Box Office Challenge. And props
to ''neilplinden'' for garnering top prize in our just-finished summer game.
Way to go, fellow box office savant!

本周我們看到返校潮，學生開始準備功課、NFL開幕周，以及票房的度小月。
沒錯，票房淡季開始出現在電影院。雖然說片場在過去幾週相繼清倉暑假末段
的剩菜，但本周他們基本上都在休息，沒有發行的電影。不過，還是有一個例外，
那就是尼可拉斯凱吉的亞洲動作重拍「無聲火」。假如你覺得他會贏，那你可以
看看我下面的文章

THE (LIKELY) TOP FIVE
預測前五賣座電影

Bangkok Dangerous
Lionsgate ‧ R ‧ 2,650 theaters ‧ NEW
Heh-heh, Bangkok. It's easy to imagine Beavis and Butt-head racing to see
this movie, but anybody else? Maybe not a ton of folks, since buzz and
marketing are minimal, but certainly enough. That it's the only new release
virtually guarantees a No. 1 finish for this violent remake of the 1999
assassin flick of the same title (also directed by Hong Kong's Pang brothers,
who made The Eye). So, too, does the presence of box office force Nicolas
Cage, whose most recent movie, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, grossed a
whopping $220 mil domestically. Sure, the Oscar-winning actor has added a few
misses to his résumé recently: Next opened with just $7.1 mil in 2007 and
The Wicker Man bowed with $9.6 mil in early September two years ago. Then
again, $9.6 mil may be enough to win here.
Weekend prediction: $10 million

1.無聲火
Lionsgate ‧ R ‧ 2650家戲院 ‧新上映
歡迎來到曼谷。不難想像鱉四與大頭蛋會衝去看本片，但其他人呢？也許不會
吸引太多人，因為宣傳與上映行情都很低調，但也夠多了。身為本周唯一上映
的新片，差不多可以讓改編自1999同名暴力作品的本片成為賣座榜第一
（導演同樣是香港的彭氏兄弟，他們也導演過「變眼」的原版本「見鬼」），
凱吉也可以延續去年國家寶藏2的吸金功力(國2美國票房超過2億美金)。

當然，這位奧斯卡得主也曾經有幾次失手的履歷，包括去年「關鍵下一秒」
只有710萬，兩年前同期的「惡靈線索」則是960萬。不過，960萬已經足夠
讓他們成為贏家了

週末預測:1000萬美元

Tropic Thunder
Paramount/DreamWorks ‧ R ‧ 3,446 theaters ‧ 4th weekend
Of course, for all I know, Bangkok Dangerous could tank and then this would
wind up the winner for a fourth straight weekend. But at about $89 mil and
counting, it'll probably have to wait till next week to cross the $100 mil
mark.
Weekend prediction: $8 million

2.開麥拉驚魂
派拉蒙/夢工廠‧ R ‧ 3446家戲院 ‧第四週
當然，根據我知道的，除了「無聲火」，本片也很有機會四連霸，不過依照目前
累積的8900萬美元計算，他大概要等到下週才會達到1億關卡

週末預測:800萬美元

The Dark Knight
Warner Bros. ‧ PG-13 ‧ 2,575 theaters ‧ 8th weekend
Now that the $500 mil plateau has come and gone, is there any chance — any
chance at all — that Batman could threaten Titanic's reign as the top
domestic grosser of all time? As EW columnist Mark Harris recently wrote, no
way. To match Titanic's $600.8 mil tally, The Dark Knight (which now stands
at about $507 mil) would have to average approximately $8 mil per week...for
the next three months! Yeah, no way. Still, with about $925 min in worldwide
receipts, it should soon join Titanic, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of
the King, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest as the only
billion-dollar grossers in box office history.
Weekend prediction: $6 million

3.黑暗騎士
華納兄弟‧ PG - 13‧ 2575家戲院 ‧第八週
既然已經達到五億的里程碑，現在他的問題是：蝙蝠俠是否有任何的機會，
超越鐵達尼號，成為美國最賣座電影呢？根據娛樂週刊的評論員Mark Harris
最近的文章，結論是不可能的。假如要達到鐵達尼的6億成就，目前5.07億的本片
必須每周都賣到800萬－在這三個月內。沒錯，所以不可能。

不過，目前全球收入9.25億的本片，很快就會加入鐵達尼、魔戒之王者再臨、
神鬼奇航2的行列，成為全球10億俱樂部的會員

週末預測:600萬美元

The House Bunny
Columbia ‧ PG-13 ‧ 2,736 theaters ‧ 3rd weekend
The Anna Faris comedy is turning into a sweet little late-summer hit, having
exceeded its small production budget (a reported $25 mil) with more than $30
mil in the bank. I wonder if E will try to take the credit?
Weekend prediction: $5 million

4.女孩我最兔
哥倫比亞‧ PG - 13‧ 2736家戲院 ‧第三週
安娜法瑞絲主演的新喜劇，已經成為暑假末期的小兵立大功，不僅已經超越
製作費(據報是2500萬)，現在也正朝向3000萬邁進。不知道「我家也有大明星」
的艾瑞克，是否有意願簽下安娜？

週末預測:500萬美元

Babylon A.D.
Fox ‧ PG-13 ‧ 3,425 theaters ‧ 2nd weekend
Sorry to be so cynical, but let's be honest: The only reason I'm still
writing about Vin Diesel's latest flick — which had a disappointing $9.5 mil
three-day debut a week ago and could drop 60 percent or more this time — is
because there are no other new releases to bump it further down the chart.
Weekend prediction: $4 million

5.巴比倫密碼
福斯‧ PG - 13‧ 3425家戲院 ‧第二週
抱歉如此殘酷，但說實話：我繼續寫馮狄所這部開出令人失望新片
（三天只開出950萬，本周可能暴跌6成）的唯一理由，是因為我找不到
本周還有什麼夠吸引人的影片

週末預測:400萬美元
