'The Mummy' 3: Will It Beat Batman?

神鬼傳奇3會打敗蝙蝠俠嗎？

We're betting Brendan Fraser's third undead outing just might knock ''The
Dark Knight'' from its box-office perch, but we have little confidence in
Kevin Costner's ''Swing Vote''

前言：
我賭布蘭登費雪第三次與木乃伊的對抗旅程可以在票房上擊敗黑暗騎士，不過
對於凱文科斯納「Swing Vote」的表現就沒什麼信心了

The X-Files tried — and failed miserably — in its attempt to unseat The
Dark Knight last weekend. This frame will see an equally aged franchise The
Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor try to overthrow what's turning into the
most successful superhero movie of all time. And funny enough, it should
succeed. Who knew Brendan Fraser and Jet Li had that kind of power?

X檔案上週嘗試拉下黑暗騎士的冠軍寶座，但卻很悲慘地失敗了。現在，挑戰者
輪到前兩集都大獲成功的神鬼傳奇系列，他的任務是：將史上最成功的超級英雄
電影給打倒。有趣的是，這次應該會成功，誰知道布蘭登費雪與李連杰說不定有
什麼樣的神秘力量呢？

Not even a critical drubbing will prevent this actioner from luring in the
pre-teen set that may actually be able to see this movie without wetting
their pants unlike the very Dark Knight. And while the Christian Bale/Heath
Ledger combo will come very close to hitting the $400 million mark this
weekend, it won't be from the top spot on the box office chart. Read on for
my predictions, then click over to EW.com's Summer Box Office Challenge to

不過，說不定慘不忍睹的影評，也會趕跑這部動作片本來應該吸引的青少年們，
畢竟他的期待值並不如黑暗騎士。另外，當克里斯丁貝爾與希斯萊傑攜手挑戰4億
關卡時，TDK應該也不會脫離票房榜的前段班。

THE (LIKELY) TOP FIVE
預測前五賣座電影

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Universal Pictures ‧ PG-13 ‧ 3,759 theatres ‧ NEW

It's been seven years since Brendan Fraser last took on some unpleasant
corpses, and while it's not like there was any clamor for another
installment, at least Dragon Emperor has been infused with new blood. There's
a new director (Rob Cohen), a new co-star (Maria Bello), a new villain
(international superstar Jet Li), and a new newcomer (Aussie actor Luke
Ford). While it's highly unlikely that the third installment in this
franchise will reach the heights of its predecessors (The Mummy Returns
opened to $68 million on its way to $200 million), it actually should have a
fair showing this frame.
Weekend prediction: $51 million

1.神鬼傳奇3
環球/PG13/3759家戲院/新上映

距離布蘭登費雪處理討厭的木乃伊已經有七年了，雖然說這次神鬼3聲勢不如以往，
但來自中國的皇帝至少也為本系列注入了新生命。這次有新的導演（機戰未來的
勞勃柯恩）、新的女主角（演技也備受肯定的瑪莉亞貝洛）、新的反派（國際巨星
李連杰），以及新秀（來自澳洲的Luke Ford）。雖然就未來成就而言，神鬼3
不大可能與前輩們相提並論（神鬼2首映6800萬，總票房超過2億），但他應該
還是會有基本盤

預測週末票房：5100萬

The Dark Knight
Warner Bros. ‧ PG-13 ‧ 4,266 theatres ‧ 3rd week

Its tally after Tuesday stood at $334 million, just $2 million under
Spider-Man 3's total domestic haul. Christopher Nolan's masterpiece will blow
by that mark this weekend as it closes in on the $400 million mark.
Weekend prediction: $40 million

2.黑暗騎士
華納兄弟/PG13/4266家戲院/第三周

星期二之後，本片總票房已經來到3.34億，距離蜘蛛人3只差200萬。
克里斯多夫諾蘭的這部大師級經典將會在本周將影史賣座總排名更為提升，
同時也距離4億關卡更接近

預測週末票房：4千萬

Step Brothers
Sony ‧ R ‧ 3,094 theatres ‧ 2nd week

The reviews weren't kind but that didn't stop Will Ferrell from pulling in
close to $31 million for this R-rated comedy. (A huge improvement from his
last outing, Semi-Pro, which opened to a dismal $15 million back in
February.) Its second weekend should see a steep drop-off, close to 60
percent.
Weekend prediction: $12.5 million

3.爛兄爛弟
新力/R/3094家戲院/第二周

影評雖然並不友善，不過並不能阻止威爾法洛的R級新喜劇首周賣破3000萬，
相對於他在2月的灌籃大帝，開映只有1500萬來說，這已經是很大的進步了。
他的第二周表現應該會大跌，跌幅我預估將近六成

預測週末票房：1250萬

Swing Vote
Disney ‧ PG-13 ‧ 2,213 theatres ‧ NEW

I don't get this movie at all. The posters make it look like a Kevin Costner
baseball movie, with an obvious splash of red to, what, appeal to the middle
of the country? The ads showcase a precocious pre-teen who is all over
getting her dad to vote. So what is this movie, a political movie for kids?
Yet it's rated PG-13 and I can't imagine any kid over 13 wanting to see it.
And the fading appeal of Costner isn't likely to lure in a lot of adults.
Someone tell me who is going to see this movie? That said, Disney has a
remarkable gift for marketing even the schlockiest of schlock, so they must
be finding an audience somewhere.
Weekend prediction: $10 million

4.Swing Vote
迪士尼/PG13/2213家戲院/新上映

說真的，我完全無法接受本片！海報設計讓我感覺凱文科斯納是不是要演棒球電影，
顯著的大紅背景更讓我覺得本片該不會是要吸引中部人士觀賞的吧？
廣告說本片演的是一個早熟少女，拉著她的爸爸去投票。

所以這部電影，是給青少年的政治電影嗎？
雖然本片被列為PG-13，但我無法想像會有國中生想看。
褪掉光環的柯斯納，也不夠誘惑夠多的成人。請告訴我，有誰要去看本片的？
換句話說，既然迪士尼有本事促銷瞎片中的瞎片，那他們也能隨處找到觀眾群囉？

預測週末票房：1千萬

Mamma Mia!
Universal ‧ PG-13 ‧ 3,060 theatres ‧ 3rd week

Critics just hated on this movie but that didn't stop audiences from pouring
into the theaters to see it. It dropped just 36 percent its sophomore session
and has grossed a solid $62 million so far. I'd look for a larger drop this
weekend, but it will still beat X-Files in the ranking. (Sad that no one
cares about Scully and Mulder any longer.)
Weekend prediction: $8.5 million

5.媽媽咪呀
環球/PG13/3060家戲院/第三周
雖然影評不大喜歡本片，但仍然無法停止觀眾們去戲院目睹。本片在第二周末
只下降了36啪，總票房也超過了六千萬。我預測本週末下降幅度會更多，
不過在排名上贏X檔案仍是綽綽有餘（很遺憾已經沒啥人在乎穆德與史考莉了）

預測週末票房：850萬
