《唐山大地震》有望成为国产片票房之王（双语

 

    国家广电总局于本周一发布消息称，讲述1976年唐山地震的影片《唐山大地震》自7月22日上映以来国内总票房收入已突破1.6亿元（合2350万美元）大关。 "Aftershock," a movie about the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, has grossed over 160 million yuan (23.5 million U.S.dollars) at the Chinese box office since its opening on July 22, the State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) said Monday.

    这一数字并不包括IMAX放映的收入。该片是中国首部IMAX电影。 The figure does not include the movie's earnings from IMAX screenings. It's the first Chinese movie to be screened in IMAX.

    上映三日，该片票房已突破1亿元，一举打破了之前由《建国大业》保持的国内票房纪录。 The movie earned more than 100 million yuan within three days of its release, breaking the Chinese box office record previously held by "The Founding of a Republic."

   《建国大业》曾创下4.2亿票房总收入。2009年9月，该片上映后，只用了三天半的时间，票房便达到1亿元。 "The Founding of a Republic," which earned a total box office of 420 million yuan, took three and a half days to earn 100 million when it was released in September 2009.

   《唐山大地震》的首映日票房为3620万元，创下了该片的首个票房纪录——本土影片放映首日票房的最好成绩。 "Aftershock" set its first box office record on its release day when it earned 36.2 million yuan - the highest box office ever for a local movie on its opening day.

    作为中国最成功的商业片导演之一，该片导演冯小刚于本周一接受了新华社的采访。他表示，影片票房很接近他的预期；今后两周票房达到3.5-4亿元，这“基本上没什么问题”。 The movie's director, Feng Xiaogang, one of China's most successful commercial directors, said Monday in an interview with Xinhua that the movie's box office is close to what he had expected and that there was "no big problem" for it grossing between 350 and 400 million yuan over the next two weeks.

    对于该片票房能否达到5亿元——这一中国电影从未达到的票房数字，冯小刚表示这取决于上映后20日，该片能否再次吸引300到400万的观众前来观影。 As to whether the movie's box office will reach 500 million yuan -- a mark no Chinese movie has ever achieved -- Feng said it would depend on whether the movie can attract another three to four million viewers 20 days after its release.
