中國電影市場能否拯救“明日世界”

China, with its burgeoning box office and hearty appetite for Hollywood fare, has become a sort of haven of second chances for films that disappoint in North America and Europe, Western media reported.

據西方媒體報道，中國市場憑藉其迅速增長的票房和對好萊塢的喜愛，正在成爲歐美失利的電影尋求翻盤的沃土。

Chinese audiences often "go against the global tide," and there are numerous examples of China box office recoveries for films that had tepid receptions elsewhere.

中國觀衆經常"與全球潮流背道而馳"，有很多在其它地方反應平淡的影片在中國卻獲得了高票房。

Some international under-performers have enjoyed surprisingly good results in China; "Need for Speed," "Escape Plan" and "Cloud Atlas," for example.

比如，《極品飛車》、《金蟬脫殼》和《雲圖》等多部電影都在中國打了漂亮的翻身仗。

Recently, after Disney film "Tomorrowland"'s weaker-than-expected debut in North America, Disney might be looking to China in hopes of cutting their losses on the $190m picture.

美國迪士尼公司的《明日世界》在北美遭遇開局不利後，該公司或對中國市場寄予厚望，以期減少這部斥資1.9億美元打造的電影的虧損。
