But Schwarzenegger's box-office muscle isn't what it used to be: The actioner opened in 10th place domestically with $7.2 million for the four-day Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. The pic earned $48.3 million worldwide. 以驚悚片「三更」、「鬼魅」等驚悚片獲得好萊塢注意的南韓導演金知雲，終於在2013年推出了第一部英語電影，並且還找來了前加州州長阿諾史瓦辛格與搞怪諧星強尼納斯維爾增添影片氣勢。只不過，阿諾如今的票房招攬力已經不比從前，「重」片在上映時，雖然有金恩博士誕辰假期的利多，卻僅以720萬美金的收入勉強進入第十名。「重」片在其他地方表現也沒好到哪裡，他的全球票房還不足以攻佔5千萬美金的關卡。驚爆危城 'Broken City' 美國上映時間：1月18日 Russell Crowe and Mark Wahlberg in an action thriller about political corruption in New York City didn't make for a pleasantly surprising January hit. Instead the film, directed by Allen Hughes and budgeted at $35 million, received generally poor reviews and grossed a soft $30.7 million worldwide in total. 曾經以「奪天書」闖出不錯票房的亞倫休斯，這次找來了羅素克洛、馬克華柏格兩位影壇硬漢在這部有關紐約政治圈醜聞的動作驚悚片掛頭牌。然而，影片不僅沒能在一月締造票房奇蹟，偏低的媒體評價連帶讓本片儘管是部成本不到四千萬美金的中型製作，卻無法用全球票房彌補財務的赤字。頭號目標 'Bullet to the Head' 美國上映時間：2月1日 Released shortly after Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand, Sylvester Stallone's actioner Bullet to the Head similarly failed to bring in audiences. Released in the U.S. by Warner Bros., the Walter Hill-directed film failed to crack the top five at the box office in its first weekend and ended up grossing only $9 million domestically and $4 million internationally. 繼阿諾的「重擊防線」後，史特龍的火爆動作片「頭號目標」同樣面臨無法吸引觀眾去戲院買票的困境。「頭」片儘管有華納兄弟負責宣傳，並找來資深動作導演華特希爾回鍋執導，上映首週卻連前五名都擠不進去，而總票房也遠比「重擊防線」還來得低。傑克：巨人戰記 'Jack the Giant Slayer' 美國上映時間：3月1日 Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Slayer failed to kill at the box office, debuting to $27.2 million domestically in March. Starring Nicholas Hoult, the fantasy pic's dismal opening drew comparisons to 2012's Battleship and John Carter. The blow was especially hard because of the film's high cost -- all told, the price tag was nearly $300 million when factoring in the film's $190 million production budget and hefty marketing spend. It earned $197.7 million worldwide. 布萊恩辛格雖然風光回鍋X戰警，但是對於這部根據童話改編的奇幻冒險片卻是無能為力。英國新生代演員尼可拉斯霍特主演的「傑克：巨人戰記」，在美國上映首週末的票房還不到三千萬美金，讓不少影評想起不久前同樣讓片商面色鐵青的兩部大製作－「強卡特戰記」與「超級戰艦」。「巨人戰記」對片商的損失並不會輸給以上兩部片，因為本片除了1.9億的製作費，加上宣傳費差不多就讓片商至少耗費掉三億。可惜的是，「巨人戰記」在全球的總票房還不到兩億。美麗魔物 'Beautiful Creatures' 美國上映時間：2月14日 Beautiful Creatures, based on a popular YA novel, had all the makings of another hot YA film franchise in the vein of Twilight or The Hunger Games. But instead, the film fizzled at the box office, grossing just $8.9 million in its North America four-day debut and finishing the weekend in sixth place. The pic went on to earn only $60 million worldwide. 改編自暢銷YA小說的「美」片，儘管跟「暮光之城」、「飢餓遊戲」同樣有著能夠吸引年輕觀眾，甚至拍攝續集的元素，但當它在美國電影院無法用四天假期累積至少千萬美金票房時，卻等於向片商宣告未來拍續集的夢想破碎了。「美」片的全球累積票房是 6千萬美金，剛好等於這部片的製作費。名魔生死鬥 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone' 美國上映時間：3月15日 The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, starring Steve Carell and Jim Carrey, wasn't able to make magic at the box office when it opened in North America on March 15. The Warner Bros. pic opened to a dismal $10.2 million at the domestic box office, trailing both Oz the Great and Powerful and Halle Berry's thriller The Call. The magician comedy went on to earn just $24.3 million worldwide to date. 雖然有史帝夫卡爾與金凱瑞兩大喜劇天王同場飆戲，但這部講述魔術師惡鬥的喜劇，在美國上映首週的收入只勉強超過1千萬美金，不僅遠遠落後當時仍在熱映的奇幻冒險片「奧茲大帝」，就連荷莉貝瑞主演的驚悚片「絕命連線」也開出更好的票房。「名魔生死鬥」最後在全球只進帳了2430萬。宿主 'The Host' 美國上映時間：3月29日 Another YA adaptation vying to be the next Twilight or Hunger Games franchise- starter, The Host didn't live up to the Open Road Films hopes when it debuted stateside this past March. The film, adapted from Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's novel and starring Saoirse Ronan and Max Irons, grossed $48 million worldwide. 又是一部嘗試想成為「暮光」與「飢餓」繼承者的YA冒險片，但這回片商在三月底再次面臨了挫敗。宿主儘管有著暮光原作者史黛芬妮梅爾的血統，找來的演員也有大將風采（尤其是女主角莎雪絲羅南），但全球累積票房卻低於五千萬美金。地球過後 'After Earth' 美國上映時間：5月31日 Will Smith and his real-life son Jaden starred as father and son in Sony’s sci-fi film, which was a box-office flop when it opened in the U.S. in the No. 3 spot in May (behind holdover Fast & Furious 6 and newcomer Now You See Me). With an estimated budget of $130 million, After Earth earned $27.5 million in its debut,and an 11 percent Rotten Tomatoes score. It went on to earn just $243.8 million worldwide. 威爾史密斯與他現實中的兒子傑登，在這部斥資1.3億的科幻動作片中，飾演合作爭取生存的父子檔。但這部高成本電影上映時，在週末賣出的票房卻不到三千萬美金，不僅輸給當時最賣座的「玩命關頭6」，就連成本較低的魔術動作片「出神入化」也賣出比「地球過後」更好的票房。雪上加霜的是：此片在爛番茄只有11％的低好評度，也連帶影響海外觀眾的購票意願。地片的全球收入雖然仍有超過兩億，成績卻明顯不如威哥其他主演的動作電影。白宮末日 'White House Down' 美國上映時間：6月28日 Two movies about the White House being under siege turned out to be one too many. Sony's White House Down -- starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx -- opened just three months after FilmDistrict's Olympus Has Fallen to a dismal $24.9 million. Roland Emmerich's White House Down cost a pricey $150 million to produce and went on to make just $205.4 million worldwide. 一年上映兩部白宮陷入被反派入侵危機的電影，對觀眾來說似乎是太多了點。索尼影業出資的「白宮末日」雖然找來了查寧塔圖與傑米福克斯兩位當紅炸子雞，以及災難片名導羅蘭愛墨瑞奇負責監督的工作，但這部耗費1.5億美金的動作大片由於檔期排得比獨立片商投資的另一部白宮災難片「全面攻佔：倒數救援」來得晚，結果就是「白」片的首映票房開得比「全」片還要低。「白」片後來在全球雖然還是有突破2億美金，但只比這個基準多出了5百萬。獨行俠 'The Lone Ranger' 美國上映時間：7月3日 Disney's The Lone Ranger, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, was a big-budget production, costing $250 million to make. But it was a train wreck when it hit theaters in July, opening domestically to a disappointing $29.2 million. When the dust finally settled, the film had earned a sad $260.5 million worldwide. 迪士尼出品，強尼戴普與新生代型男艾米翰墨合作演出的冒險動作片「獨行俠」，可說是今年拍攝成本最高的電影，但當影片在七月進入戲院後，卻變成了一場有如火車脫軌的慘案，「獨」片不僅在美國首週末的票房還不到三千萬美金，最後結算全球票房時，也悲慘地只比成本高出一點錢而已。 Just two months after the film flopped in theaters, producer Jerry Bruckheimer parted ways with Disney after a longtime partnership, but Bruckheimer didn’t blame the film. “We have a full body of work with them. It's not about Lone Ranger. It's more about the types of movies Disney is making, and the types of movies we want to make.” 在影片失敗的兩個月後，即使是曾經推出「神鬼奇航」等賣座片的製片傑瑞布魯克海墨，也被迫黯然結束與迪士尼的長期合作關係，但布魯克海墨否認獨行俠是壓垮他與迪士尼關係的最後一根稻草，他表示「我們製片團隊已經用盡全力與迪士尼配合了，最大的癥結並不在獨行俠，或許只能說迪士尼與我想要製作電影的方式仍然有微妙的差異吧！」降魔戰警 'R.I.P.D.' 美國上映時間：7月19日 Headline writers had a field day with the Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds action film when the $130 million title tanked in its July debut. The Universal film, directed by Robert Schwentke, was panned by critics and in September even Bridges admitted to GQ that "the studio made some, uh, choices that I wouldn't have made." The film wound up grossing $78 million worldwide. 當這部由傑夫布理吉與萊恩雷諾合作飾演辦案搭檔，拍攝成本超過1億美金的動作喜劇，在票房上慘遭滑鐵盧時，娛樂新聞網站不但有了足以發揮的素材，還找來影評鞭刑式地分析影片成果為何會成為失敗品。事實上，就連布理吉後來接受GQ雜誌訪問時，也只能無奈表示「也許是片商高層下了一些我假如理性思考，就不會去做的決定」。RIPD的全球票房連8千萬美金都達不到，更別提有無達到成本價了。決勝機密 'Paranoia' 美國上映時間：8月16日 This high-concept corporate thriller thudded with critics prior to its mid-August release date. A cast featuring Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Liam Hemsworth and Amber Heard wasn't enough to convince late summer moviegoers to pay for a ticket -- the film failed to crack the top ten at the U.S. box office in its debut, ultimately grossing less than $15 million worldwide. 這部劇情淺顯易懂的商業惡鬥驚悚片雖然找來哈理遜福特、蓋瑞歐德曼兩位影壇老將，以及連恩漢斯沃、安柏赫德這兩位新生代飾演片中的金童玉女；然而，上映前連基本水平都達不到的悲慘影評成績，卻連帶無法說服觀眾在暑假結束前去電影院買票進場。「決」片在美國不但無法打進當週前十名，連全球票房也只有一千多萬美金而已。天使聖物：駭骨之城 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones' 美國上映時間：8月21日 Screen Gems and Constantin Film were so confident in the promise of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones that the producers announced that work would already begin on the sequel before the first film had hit theaters. But after City of Bones opened to a lackluster $14 million over the course of its five-day opening, producers of the $60 million YA adaptation had to delay a follow-up. 索尼旗下的Screen Gems影業與曾經製作「惡靈古堡」的康斯坦丁影業，看樣子對於這部根據同名小說改編的奇幻冒險片相當有信心，因為他們在上映之前就興奮地宣布要籌拍此系列的續集。然而，當駭骨之城在首週只收到平凡平淡無奇的1400萬美金之後，為「駭」片投注六千萬的片商也不得不延緩續集的籌備工作。死路十條 'Getaway' 美國上映時間：8月30日 Released without fanfare in late August, Getaway didn't gain any traction with moviegoers. The car-chase film, starring Ethan Hawke, Jon Voight and Selena Gomez, received a C+ CinemaScore from opening weekend audiences in the U.S. and ultimately grossed less than $11 million worldwide. 這部飆車追逐動作片在上映前並沒有被片商積極宣傳，自然也沒辦法獲得太多想買票捧場的觀眾，也等於浪費了伊森霍克、席林娜與強沃特這些知名卡司陣容。此外，「死」片上映後的觀眾評價非常低，也進一步削弱了影片的賣座力道－此片在全球的收入只勉強超過1千萬美金。逆轉王牌 'Runner Runner' 美國上映時間：10月4日 Brad Furman's Runner Runner, starring Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake, had a dismal $7.7 million U.S. debut. While there's no doubt that the $30 million film was hurt by Warner Bros.' Sandra Bullock-George Clooney space epic Gravity, which debuted to $55.6 million, Runner Runner was expected to open ahead of where it did, even considering the competitive marketplace. It earned a weak $62.7 million worldwide. 「逆轉王牌」是新銳導演布萊德佛曼在「下流正義」獲得成功後的最新作品，並且邀請到班艾佛列克與大賈斯丁兩位型男影星同場對戲。然而，影片上映時剛好碰到更強的對手－珊卓布拉克主演的太空史詩「地心引力」，連帶影響「逆」片的實際成績。不過，雙方高達將近五千萬美金的首週票房差距似乎還是有點讓人意外，畢竟「逆」片原先曾被預估能開出更好的票房。逆片最後在全球的票房是6270萬，跟地心引力相比自然又是輸了不少。危機解密 'The Fifth Estate' 美國上映時間：10月18日 Despite a cast that boasted Benedict Cumberbatch as Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks origin story failed to capture the interest of American or global moviegoers. Assange had publicly expressed his displeasure at his portrayal in the film. And the Bill Condon-helmed title, which debuted at the Toronto Film Festival, grossed less than $9 million worldwide theatrically. 儘管讓英國當紅影星班乃迪克康柏貝奇飾演維基解密創辦人，的確是個有賣點的想法，影片也獲選參加多倫多影展，但「危」片只有9百萬美金的超低全球票房卻無法讓它成為下一個「社群網戰」。不僅如此，危解創辦人阿桑吉還公開表達對此片的不爽。玩命法則 'The Counselor' 美國上映時間：10月25日 A political thriller written by Cormac McCarthy, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz, Michael Fassbender and Cameron Diaz had plenty of potential. The resulting film, The Counselor, failed to make waves with critics or audiences in its October debut. The film grossed less than $17 million domestically and did a little better internationally, giving the title a worldwide gross of $63 million. 這部政治相關驚悚片找來了「險路勿進」原作者柯馬克麥卡西撰寫劇本、多產導演雷利史考特投入製作，加上布萊德彼特、潘妮洛普克魯茲、麥克費斯賓達與卡麥容迪亞等實力派俊男美女降低片酬加入演出，怎麼看都應充滿賣座與角逐獎項的潛力。然而，「玩命法則」在上映後，卻無法獲得大多數影評與觀眾的好感，在美國的累積票房確定會低於兩千萬美金。稍微讓片商感到安慰的是「玩」片在海外的票房有比較好，全球累積仍有六千萬的收入。黛安娜 'Diana' 美國上映時間：11月1日 There was plenty of buzz when it was announced that Naomi Watts would be taking on the iconic role of Princess Diana for an upcoming film. But when the pic eventually hit theaters, it grossed only $67,754 from 38 theaters for a bleak location average of $1,708. Diana opened a month earlier in the U.K., where it also bombed (one British reviewer called it "car crash" cinema). 當氣質女星娜歐蜜華茲雀屏中選獲得飾演一代王妃的機會後，影迷們對這部電影有相當高的期望。然而，當它終於進入美國的戲院時，首週卻只獲得不到7萬美金的難堪數字－這數字換算成單廳平均票房更是讓片商感到尷尬。「黛」片稍早在英國上映時同樣成為票房炸彈，一名影評還狠毒地形容此片猶如一場災情慘烈的「車禍」。原罪犯美國版 'Oldboy' 美國上映時間：11月27日 A remake of Park Chan-wook's 2003 thriller, the Josh Brolin starrer had garnered some degree of fan interest prior to its release. But middling reviews didn't help as the film launched in limited release over Thanksgiving weekend and failed to make a dent against juggernauts like The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Frozen. The Spike Lee-directed title has currently grossed $4 million worldwide. 南韓名導朴贊郁十年前犯罪驚悚經典的重拍版本，儘管因黑人名導史派克李與性格男星喬許布洛林的先後加入，在上映前吸引了不少原版影迷的注意。可惜上映後兩極化的評價，以及有限的戲院數量，卻讓原罪犯美國版在感恩節假期面對「飢餓遊戲2」與「冰雪奇緣」這兩大強檔時，毫無招架之力。原罪犯英語版在全球只有4百萬美金的票房，對照它三千萬的成本自然也理所當然進入了此榜單。 -------------------- 要另外說明的是：好萊塢記者報在整理這份名單時，浪人四七還沒有在美國上檔，不然他應該也有資格進入這份榜單中心得：整理去年票房失敗電影的網站，說實在話還真不少，像HitFix使用的字詞就比好萊塢記者報還要直率 http://bit.ly/1f0WaB6 可惜HitFix這些字詞搭配起來的理解難度也比THR網站來得高，所以我最後還是選了字彙比較容易解讀的THR。另外也不得不說THR在做年度回顧的專題時還蠻用心的，不僅用不少角度分析去年好萊塢的電影與音樂，就連南韓與中國等地的電影市場，也專門開闢了重要事件回顧的專文，假如我時間允許，也會盡量抽空在版上刊登這些回顧型外電 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.166.194.113 ※ 編輯: sampsonlu919 來自: 118.166.194.113 (01/04 11:03) ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ※ 轉錄者: sampsonlu919 (118.166.194.113), 時間: 01/04/2014 11:06:51
