躋身美國票房榜前十的寶萊塢電影

The final chapter of the blockbuster Twilight vampire franchise took the biggest bite out of North America's weekend box office - while a Bollywood film made a rare showing in the top 10.

上週北美票房的最大贏家非吸血鬼大片《暮光之城》的終結篇莫屬，然而一部異軍突起的印度寶萊塢電影卻意外的闖進了榜單的top10。

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn-Part 2, the fifth and final installment of the wildly popular series, took $141.1 million, according to industry tracker Exhibitor Relations.

根據北美院線聯盟提供的數據顯示，目前《暮光之城4：破曉（下）》是暮光系列中最受歡迎的一部，票房已經突破1.411億美元。

Even more eye-catching perhaps was Jab Tak Hai Jaan (Till My Last Breath), a three-hour extravaganza that was the last film made by legendary Indian filmmaker Yash Chopra, the "king of romance," before he died last month.

但是，最引人注目的也許是被稱爲“浪漫之王”的印度傳奇導演Yash Chopra遺作《Jab Tak Hai Jaan(只要我還活着）》，這是一部三小時的視覺盛宴。本片是導演Yash Chopra在去世前一個月完成的。

The movie entered the top 10 at No.8, taking $1.3 million at the box office, a rare appearance for a Bollywood film in box office rankings usually dominated by Hollywood productions.

此前，北美票房榜一直都是由好萊塢電影包攬的，這部印度寶萊塢電影竟然以130萬美元的票房躋身進入了票房榜top10的第8名，這一現象罕見至極。

"It is very rare indeed for a Bollywood film to make the Top 10," said Exhibitor Relations expert Jeff Bock, while noting that they "routinely" make it into the top 20.

“對於寶萊塢電影來說，這的確罕見極了。”北美院線聯盟的專家說到，他指出寶萊塢的電影“通常”只會在前20名的榜單裏出現。

"Bollywood does have a very loyal following in the US as almost every week there is a new Bollywood film in limited release, and every now and then they do open in the top 10," he told AFP.

他告訴法新社的記者：“在美國，幾乎每一週都有一部新的寶萊塢電影發行上線，也確實有一批非常忠實的寶萊塢電影追隨者。這些電影中不時也會有進入top10的情況。”

The Hindi cinema legend, hailed for directing, producing and screen-writing some of India's most-loved movies over several decades, died last month aged 80 after being admitted to hospital with dengue fever.

上個月，這位80歲的老人被醫院證實因患登革熱離世。幾十年來，這位北印度傳奇導演一直擔任着導演、製片、編劇等工作，製作出了許多受印度人喜愛的電影。

Actors who had worked closely with Chopra, such as veteran Amitabh Bachchan and heartthrob Shah Rukh Khan, attended a private funeral at a crematorium in the city.

與Chopra導演有過多次合作的演員，如資深演員Amitabh Bachchan、萬人迷Shah Rukh Khan等均參加了爲他舉辦的一個私人葬禮。
