‘Wicked: For Good’ recaptures box office magic with $150 million opening weekend

《魔法坏女巫2》首周末票房1.5亿美元，再爆票房佳绩。

There was no place like the movie theater for fans of “Wicked” this weekend.

对《魔法坏女巫》的粉丝们来说，这个周末的没有什么地方比电影院更吸引他们。

Universal’s “Wicked: For Good” soared to No. 1 at the weekend box office, earning $150 million domestically and $226 million worldwide — far outpacing its predecessor, “Wicked,” which opened to $114 million domestically during last year’s pre-Thanksgiving weekend.

环球影业出品的《魔法坏女巫2》飙升至周末票房榜首，美国国内票房收入1.5亿美元，全球票房收入2.26亿美元，远超其前作。《魔法坏女巫》在去年感恩节前周末上映时，在美国国内获得了1.14亿美元的票房。

It’s never a guarantee that a second installment will outperform an original, especially on the opening weekend. The first film, and now this movie … created a cultural phenomenon. This was not an overnight success.”

电影续集的票房表现，尤其是在首周末，难能超过原作。《魔法坏女巫1》和现在的续集都掀起了一股文化热潮，这是难能可贵的成功。

The musical fantasy film, which is a retelling inspired by the 1900 children’s novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” became the second-highest domestic opener of the year, behind Warner Bros. Pictures’ live-action “A Minecraft Movie” ($162.75 million) and ahead of Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch” ($146 million).

这部音乐奇幻电影改编自1900年的儿童小说《绿野仙踪》，成为今年美国国内票房首映榜眼，仅次于华纳兄弟影业出品的真人版《我的世界电影》（1.6275亿美元），领先于迪士尼出品的《莉萝与史迪奇》（1.46亿美元）。

“Wicked: For Good” also broke a record for a fantasy-adventure sequel opening. Such movies average an opening of $46 million, according to Gross.

《魔法坏女巫2》还创下了奇幻冒险片续集的开播纪录。根据格罗斯的说法，这类电影的平均开播票房为4600万美元。

Also opening this weekend was Searchlight Pictures’ “Rental Family” ($3.3 million), which was No. 5 overall, and Sony Pictures’ “Sisu: Road to Revenge” ($2.6 million), which was No. 6. The two films failed to share the same success of “Gladiator II,” which had a domestic opening weekend box office of $55.5 million when it opened alongside “Wicked.”

本周末上映的还有探照灯影业出品的《租赁家人》（330万美元），总排名第五，以及索尼影业出品的《西苏：复仇之路》（260万美元），排名第六。这两部电影都没能和《角斗士2》一样的成功。《角斗士2》与《魔法坏女巫2》同一天上映，在美国国内的首周末斩获票房为5550万美元。
