《魔獸》在中國的成功嚇到美國人

Jackie Chan thinks the success in China of video game adaptation Warcraft: The Beginning could lead to an increase in homegrown blockbusters.

成龍認爲遊戲改編的魔獸電影在中國的成功將導致國產大片的增加。

The $160m (￡113m) film which grossed a mere $24.4m in the US its opening weekend surprised analysts with $156m at the Chinese box office from its first five days in cinemas.

在美國，這部1.6億美元（1.13億英鎊）電影上映的首個週末總共獲得2440萬美元，而在中國上映5天就取得1.56億美元票房形成鮮明對比，讓分析家們加感到驚訝。

Speaking this weekend at the Shanghai film festival Chan said the result will worry Hollywood execs. “Warcraft made 600m yuan [￡64m] in two days. This has scared the Americans. If we can make a film that earns 10bn [￡1bn] then people from all over the world who study film will learn Chinese instead of us learning English.”

成龍在本週末的上海電影節說，這個結果將讓好萊塢高官們擔憂。“魔獸兩天之內收入6億元（6400萬元英鎊）”。這個結果震驚美國人。如果我們讓一部電影掙100億（10億英鎊）那麼全世界研究電影的人將學習中文而非英語。
