太瘋狂!《星球大戰7》首周票房創最高紀錄

The newest film in the Stars Wars franchise has set a box office record for an opening weekend in the US and Canada.

《星球大戰》系列最新電影《原力覺醒》在美國、加拿大上映首週末就打破票房紀錄。

Revenue from the opening weekend is nearly 240 million dollars, beating the previous record holder, "Jurassic World," by about 30 million.

該電影上映首個週末的票房收入就達到了將近2.4億美元，這一成績也打破了《侏羅紀世界》所保持的紀錄，超出其接近3千萬美元。

Internationally, the film grossed 517 million dollar and is second to "Jurassic World", which had a global total of 525 million following its first weekend of release earlier this year.

從全球來看，這部電影首週末票房爲5.17億美元，僅次於今年早些時候上映的《侏羅紀世界》的首週末5.25億美元的成績

However, the dinosaurs had the added benefit of China, where "Star Wars" won't open until Jan. 9.

但是需要注意的是，《侏羅紀世界》的這一成績是加上了中國的票房，而《星球大戰：原力覺醒》在明年的1月9日纔會正式在中國上映。

The film, with a $200m budget and millions more spent on marketing, represented a big gamble for the Walt Disney Company, which had already plunked down $4b for rights to the Skywalker clan.

據悉，該電影預算爲2億美元，營銷費用更是多達幾百萬美元。此前，迪士尼公司斥資40億美元從魯卡斯電影購入《星戰》版權，新片對迪士尼公司來說是一個大賭注。
