Box Office Preview: 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs' will 'rain' at number

食破天驚即將空降冠軍

At last, young kids have had a reason to go to the movies. (July’s G-Force
was the most recent opportunity and some parents are still reeling from the
experience.) Sony Pictures’ PG-rated Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs will
open this weekend in 2-D, 3-D and IMAX and is destined to lock into the
number one spot over three other new films: Love Happens, The Informant!, and
Jennifer’s Body. How will those movies open? Now that’s where it gets
interesting. Megan Fox — the controversial ‘It’ girl of summer – is
exploiting her assets in the Karyn Kusama-directed, Diablo Cody-scripted
horror film Jennifer’s Body while Aaron Eckhart chases Jennifer Aniston’s
body in the romantic drama Love Happens. And Matt Damon dons a mustache and
glasses for his Ocean’s director Steven Soderbergh in the R-rated comedy The
Informant!

終於，小孩子們有了去電影院的理由了（7月的鼠膽妙算是最近的一次，不過
有些家長看完之後頭部有點暈眩）索尼影業的PG級喜劇「食破天驚」將會在本週末
於全美各大2D、3D與IMAX戲院開映，並且可望擊敗其他三部新片成為冠軍，他們
分別是：「愛上你，愛上我」、「爆料大師」與「辣的要命」。他們又會有怎麼樣
的命運呢？這是個很有趣的問題。今年暑假最風光的話題女星梅根福克斯，在
辣的要命將獲得名導演凱琳庫薩瑪與名編劇狄亞布洛柯蒂的協助；亞倫艾克哈特在
「愛上你，愛上我」中將對珍妮佛安尼斯頓大獻殷勤；而麥特戴蒙這回則是在與
史蒂芬所德伯再次合作的R級喜劇「爆料大師」中帶上假鬍子與眼鏡

Overall, the weekend should handily beat out last year, when Samuel L. Jackson
’s thriller Lakeview Terrace was number one with $15 million. Read on for my
predictions.

總之，這個禮拜的整體票房將會比去年同期來的優異，因為當時山穆傑克森的
合法入侵只用了1千5百萬就拿下冠軍，以下是我的預測

1.Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: $30 million
Sony bowed the animated flick Open Season in September 2006 and scored $23
million with it. While Cloudy veers significantly from the original book, it’
s still has name recognition thanks to the popular children’s story that’s
been floating around libraries for the past 30 years. That, coupled with its
slew of 3-D and IMAX venues, should boost the movie starring the voice talent
of Bill Hader, Anna Faris, and Mr. T to the number one spot easily.

1.食破天驚－3千萬美金
索尼影業三年前同期推出的動畫片「打獵季節」開出了2千3百萬的票房，食片
儘管跟原著相比有相當大幅的改編，但是由於同名同書在這30年來在圖書館的
高出借率，讓他還是有相當高的知名度。再加上有3D與IMAX系統的加持，這部
由比爾哈德、安娜費莉絲與天龍特攻隊的怪T配音的動畫片要成為冠軍應該沒有
問題

2. Jennifer’s Body: $12 million
Sorority Row’s attempt at mixing hot girls with horror didn’t work last
weekend but that was without the star power of Fox and screenwriter Diablo
Cody. This film will prove whether or not Fox is a box-office draw or just a
sultry, outspoken celebrity. Reviews have not been kind but that may not
matter as Twentieth Century Fox is clearly playing up the racy girl-on-girl
kiss between Fox and a geeked-out Amanda Seyfried to lure in teen boys — and
girls — to the film.

2.辣的要命－1千2百萬美金
上週的「女子殺人宿舍」想要將正妹與恐怖片結合在一起卻失敗了，但那是因為
沒有大明星與名編劇的緣故。本片將會驗證梅根狐現在到底是已經能夠撐起票房的
吸金天后，還是只會製造新聞版面的名人。影評的反應並不友善，但對於出品本片
的福斯公司而言並不重要，因為他們最近積極狂打梅根狐與另一位女星亞曼達席菲德
互相親吻的戲碼，吸引男生，以及女生買票進場

3. Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All by Myself: $10 million
Tyler Perry’s movies often fall in the 60 percent range. This one looks to
be following the same trajectory despite the starring efforts of Oscar
nominee Taraji P. Henson.

3.I Can Do Bad All by Myself－1千萬美金
泰勒派瑞的電影往往都在第二週有6成的跌幅，ICDBABM雖然有奧斯卡提名的泰拉吉
韓森，也無法避免同樣的命運

4. The Informant!: $9 million
This one is rather confusing. On the surface, a Matt Damon-starrer from
director Steven Soderbergh should do huge business. But somehow this one
feels like it’s going to disappoint. Reviews have been decent (we gave it a
B), but that may not be enough. Damon looks like a plumped-up version of his
character from the Oceans movies and he’s doing comedy — nothing like Jason
Bourne. Perhaps that’s just too far afield from how audiences want to see
him. It’s unlikely this does much more than low double digits.

4.爆料大師－9百萬美金
本片的狀況令人困惑，從表面上看來，這部由麥特戴蒙主演，史蒂芬所德伯導演的
黑色喜劇應該大有賣點才對，但現在卻越來越有讓觀眾感到失望的Fu，儘管影評
不差（本刊給了B），但這可能還不夠。麥哥的角色看起來就像是他在瞞天過海的
發胖版本，而且他這回不是扮演神鬼傑森，是在搞笑。可惜觀眾不會想看到這樣子
的他，本片想要開出千萬票房恐怕會很拼

5. Love Happens: $8 million
Jennifer Aniston has sure been busy, releasing three films over the past nine
months. While Marley and Me was a huge hit, this romantic drama with the
incredibly generic title doesn’t seem to have much buzz. The marketing
materials seem to tell the whole story of the film, which might prompt
audiences to wait for it to hit cable rather than rushing to the theater.
And, since it’s bowing in only 1,800 theaters, getting to double-digits may
be close to impossible.

5.愛上你，愛上我－8百萬美金
珍妮佛安尼斯頓顯然相當忙碌，因為在九個月內已經有她主演的3部電影上映。
然而儘管馬利與我成功大賣，這部標題醒目的浪漫劇情片卻沒有引起廣大的迴響；
在宣傳期就已經透露全部的劇情，結果就是讓觀眾不去戲院，寧願等第四台播出；
加上只有1千8百家戲院上映，本片想要有千萬的首映票房是越來越不可能了

Also opening:
Jane Campion’s Bright Star opens in very limited release this weekend but
has already generated big buzz from its film festival debuts. The film stars
Abbie Cornish as the lover of poet John Keats, played by Ben Whishaw.

其他上映新片
珍康萍的璀璨情詩，雖然本週上映的戲院並不多，但已經在影展首映時產生相當
優秀的口碑，澳洲新生代女星愛比寇妮許在本片飾演名詩人約翰季慈的情人，
飾演季慈的是「香水」男主角班魏蕭
