Michael Jackson's 'This Is It' didn't prove too ghoulish for audiences over the Halloween weekend, smashing records to gross $101 million at the world-wide box office over five days.
迈克尔•杰克逊(Michael Jackson)的《就是这样》(This Is It)在万圣节的周末并没有吓跑观众,在全球的5天放映中共收获了创纪录的1.01亿美元票房。
Sony Pictures acquired rights to the film, a behind-the-scenes documentary made before the king of pop's death in June, for $60 million.
索尼影视(Sony Pictures)以6,000万美元买断了记录迈克尔•杰克逊筹备音乐会幕后故事的纪录片。这位音乐之王于今年6月去世。
The five-day total already makes 'This Is It' the highest-grossing concert film of all time, far outpacing 'Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour,' which grossed more than $70 million world-wide when Walt Disney Co. released it last year.
《就是这样》5天的票房总额使其成为历史上收入最高的音乐会影片,远远超过了汉娜•蒙塔娜(Hannah Montana)/米莉•塞勒斯(Miley Cyrus)演唱会。后者是华特-迪斯尼(Walt Disney Co.)去年公映的,全球总票房超过了7,000万美元。
'We put a lot of love and hard work into this picture,' says Rory Bruer, who heads world-wide distribution for Sony Pictures. 'It's a very good day for us.'
索尼影视全球发行部门负责人布鲁尔(Rory Bruer)说,我们对这部影片倾注了很多爱和辛勤的工作。这是很让我们开心的一天。
The strong peformance of 'This Is It,' along with the continued success of Paramount Pictures' ultra low-budget horror flick 'Paranormal Activity,' helped propel the box office to big returns this weekend, running more than 5% ahead of the same weekend last year, even with the Saturday-night Halloween holiday. The overall box office continues to outpace last year, with ticket sales up by nearly 7.7% and attendance up by more than 3.6%.
《就是这样》的良好表现,以及派拉蒙(Paramount Pictures)的超低成本恐怖片《灵动》(Paranormal Activity)的继续成功推动了上周末票房的飙升,尽管上周六是万圣节,但票房收入仍比去年同一周末增长了5%以上。总票房继续超过去年,票房收入增长近7.7%,观众人数增长了3.6%以上。
