Box office preview: How will 'Robin Hood' fare against the second weekend of
'Iron Man 2'?

羅賓漢遇上鋼鐵人 命運會如何？

by Nicole Sperling
Categories: Box Office

Robin Hood may have picked the worst weekend of the summer to premiere. The
12th century-set English tale of the man who stole from the rich to give to
the poor has the inauspicious task of going up against the second weekend of
Iron Man 2.

羅賓漢很不巧的選了暑假檔最差的上映時機。這部描寫12世紀英國一位劫富濟貧
傳奇人物的電影，由於在第二週正面迎戰鋼鐵人2，勢必會面臨一場苦戰

Both films target the male audience. Both films are actioners. Both films
could be the winning choice for a date night flick. Robin Hood, another
Ridley Scott-Russell Crowe pairing, does have one thing going for it: Its
core audience of older men are not likely heading to the theaters for Iron
Man. But they are also the audience most influenced by reviews, and the
response to Robin Hood has been mixed.

這兩部片都以男性觀眾作為主打，都是動作片，都是適合在約會看的電影。
不過雷利史考特與羅素克洛再次合作的羅賓漢，至少有一個可以勝出的點：
他們主打的年長男性不大可能去戲院看鋼鐵人。然而，他們也是最容易被影評
影響的一群人－目前羅片的評價相當兩極

Most likely, the Universal Pictures movie will underperform stateside, but
will more than make up for it internationally. As you can probably tell from
its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, Universal is banking on its
international gross dominating. And Robin Hood has already grossed $6 million
in three countries — France, Belgium, and the French-speaking side of
Switzerland — since the film’s May 12 release in the areas. (The studio
will open the movie in over 50 international territories this weekend.)

這部由環球公司發行的電影，最有可能的狀況是：在美國本身低於預期，
但在國際市場上更為成功。或許你可以從羅片在坎城影展首映之後，環球就開始
計算國際票房效益觀察出來。羅片在三個地區－比利時、法國、瑞士法語區－
搶先在12號上映之後，首日就賺進了6百萬美金。而羅片將會在50個國際地區
同步上映

Also opening this frame is the Amanda Seyfried-starrer Letters to Juliet.
Summit Entertainment’s bit of counter-programming should lure in the teen
girls and perhaps their mothers, while Fox Searchlight is testing the star
power of Queen Latifah and the rapper Common in Just Wright. Check out our
predictions below.

本週上映的新片還包括亞曼達席菲德主演的「給茱麗葉的信」，這部Summit娛樂
有點逆向操作的嘗試，也許可以吸引到年輕女生與他們的母親。另一部則是福斯
探照燈影業測試皇后拉蒂法語饒舌歌手凡夫俗子明星力量的「Just Right」

以下是本週預測

1.鋼鐵人2：6千萬美金
1. Iron Man 2: $60 million
Since bowing to $128 million, the Marvel sequel has earned another $17
million in just two days of weekday grosses. And internationally, the film
has done crazy business putting its total worldwide take at over $345
million. There is no way the film can’t fall a good amount since its big
opening last weekend. And considering Robin Hood is around to take away some
of their cash, expect at least a 50 percent drop for the weekend.

這部驚奇娛樂的續集，在上週開出1.28億之後，這兩天又多賺進了1700萬的非週末
收入，而在其他地區，鋼2更是熱門到在全球已經累積了超過3.45億的票房。
然而，當一部大片首映很強時，就註定會在第二週大跌，加上羅賓漢即將搶食本週
的票房，鋼2本週至少會有一半的跌幅

2.羅賓漢：3200萬美金
2. Robin Hood: $32 million
This movie is reminding me of Michael Mann’s Public Enemies from last
summer. It features a high-caliber director, a big star, and is a serious
period drama. It also doesn’t feel much different than previous Crowe-Scott
pairings. That being said, men love a good old-fashioned actioner and Crowe
has the gravitas to deliver in the role. It just doesn’t look like its going
to do much beyond the older adult audience.

羅片讓我想到麥可曼恩去年的「頭號公敵」，這兩部片的共通點在於：高水準的
導演、一位超級巨星，以及嚴肅的時代劇情片。而羅片跟以往克洛/史爺搭配的
電影看起來也沒有太多的不同。換句話說：男性觀眾將會喜愛這部老派的古裝
動作片，羅哥也會用莊重的態度勝任這個角色。可惜的是，本片並不能吸引太多
老年者以外觀眾的目光

3.給茱麗葉的信：1600萬
3. Letters to Juliet: $16 million
Tween girls seem to be into this Tuscan-set romance. And they may be able to
lure their mothers to the theaters, what with Vanessa Redgrave’s poignant
performance in the film. Summit Entertainment is really high on the movie,
screening it for exhibitors back in March at ShoWest. But with such a crowded
marketplace, the movie will no doubt be hampered by other films in theaters
this weekend.

少女們都想要看這部以托斯卡尼作為背景（意指有義大利風味）的愛情片，
他們甚至可以將他們的老媽帶進戲院，因為裡面還有凡妮莎雷格瑞芙令人印象深刻
的演出。Summit娛樂隊本片抱有相當高的期待，因為他們早就在3月的ShoWest
博覽會對戲院業者舉辦試映會。但是電影市場上的擁擠狀況，毫無疑問將會對
本片的前途造成阻礙

4.Just Wright：8百萬美金
Just Wright: $8 million
Queen Latifah’s last starring role for Fox was 2004′s comedy Taxi opposite
Jimmy Fallon. That bowed to $12 million. This will be lucky to get to that
level. Early reviews have not been very kind, but perhaps fans of rap star
Common will help this movie generate some dollars. I wouldn’t expect
anything more than single digits, though, and with the movie opening in 1,800
theaters, the studio probably doesn’t either.

皇后拉蒂法上一次為福斯拍戲是04年與綜藝天王吉米法倫合作的動作喜劇
「終極殺陣美國版」，當時他的首映是1200萬，這部新片假如能達到當時的成績
就應該暗自慶幸了。儘管第一波影評並不友善，但靠著饒舌歌星「凡夫俗子」
的歌迷，本片或許可以多賺一些錢。然而我並不期望本片能夠開出破千萬的票房，
而根據首映還不到2千家戲院的情形來看，電影公司的心態恐怕也是如此

5.訓龍高手：4百萬美金
How to Train Your Dragon: $4 million
With only one more week before Shrek 4 barrels into theaters, How to Train
Your Dragon better gobble up its final dollars. The film’s domestic gross
now stands at $201 million and is likely to drop another 40 percent this
frame. Still that’s one solid debut for an original animated title.

在史瑞克4即將在下週進入戲院的情形下，訓龍高手得好好把握最後的賺錢機會。
訓龍的美國票房已經突破兩億美金，儘管本週的收入還會下滑4成，但對於一部
非續集的動畫片來說已經是個好成績了
