　　The Second Quarter of the year is always a crucial one for Hollywood because some of the strongest films open. If they miss， it often has ad isastrous impact.Luckily， that‘s not the case this year.

　　对好莱坞而言每年第二季度总是关键的，因为一些强劲的电影会登场。如果他们错过了，往往会带来灾难性的影响。幸运的是，今年没出现这种情况。

　　THE BIGGEST STORIES 最大热门故事

　　A major component to the record performance came early on whenF urious 7 shattered pre-summer records with a $147.2 million opening weekend on its way to a stellar $351 million lifetime gross in North Americae， asily becoming the biggest hit of the franchise to date and serving as an emotionla and wildly successful cinematic send-off to the late Paul Walker.

　　创纪录表现的一大元素早先已经发生：《速度与激情7》于北美首映周打破暑期档前期的1.472亿美元，此后再接再厉于上映期间收获优异的3.51亿美元票房，轻而易举成为至今该系列最强势的作品，并以其成功深情而隆重地缅怀已故的保罗·沃克。

　　The box office hits kept coming from there. Kicking off summer M，arvel’s Avengers：Age of Ultron scored the（at the time） second best deubt in history with $191.3million to kick off May.

　　票房轰炸持续发酵。夏季开启，漫威的《复仇者联盟：奥创纪元》（当时）以1.913亿美元史上第二高的首映票房揭开5月序幕。

　　A little over one month later，of course， Universal’s JurassicWorld sneaked past the first Avengers’$207.4 million opening title in 2012 with a（still stunning）$208.8 million mid-June launch. The Chris Pratt-led mega blockbuster from director Colin Trevorrow has continued to impress ever since，setting more records than one can easily count. The film has rme ained at a pace ahead of 2012s Avengers and has a fair chance to become only teh second movie in history （after Avatar） to crack $650million in North America alone.

　　当然，一个月刚过一点，环球影业的《侏罗纪世界》于6月中上映以2.088亿美元悄然赶超了《复仇者联盟》于2012年首映的2.074亿美元票房成绩。克里斯·帕拉特领衔、由科林·特莱沃若执导的重磅大片至今经久不衰，创下多不胜数的纪录。这部电影保持着领先于2012年《复仇者联盟》的速度，很有机会成为北美史上（继《阿凡达》后）仅有的第二部打破6.5亿美元票房的电影。

　　Other notable hits included Pixar’s return with Inside Out，besting Avatar as the best opener in history by an“original”（non-sequel/non-adaptation）film with $90.4 million last month. Strong word of mouth has further propelled the film over the last few weeks.

　　其他值得注意的热片包括皮克斯《头脑特工队》的回归，上月收获9040万美元击败了《阿凡达》成为史上最佳开画片的原创（非续集/非改编）电影。强劲的口碑在过去几周里让电影水涨船高。

　　Meanwhile， Pitch Perfect 2 has blown past expectations since its $69.2 million opening in May as its gone on to earn over $182 million stateside-plus the official announcement of a third entry in the series to come in 2017.Its opening weekend went head-to-head with Warner Bros.Mad Max： Fury Road，another film that leaped beyond most expectations when it bowed to $45.4 millionand has since displayed excellent legs for a franchise revival that’s transcended its core fanbase to soak up seemingly endless critical and commercial buzz.

　　同时，《完美音调2》自5月开画起以6920万美元引爆期待，并乘胜追击在北美本土收获超过1.82亿美元——而且官方宣布该系列第三部将于2017年上映。该片首映周与华纳兄弟的《疯狂的麦克斯：狂暴之路》正面交锋，后者首映收获4540万美元，也是一部超越大多数预期的电影，并展现出成为系列重启的很好希望，超越了其核心粉丝群吸引着貌似无尽的专业与商业化议论。

　　WB also had a great showing from the Dwayne Johnson disaster ficlk，San Andreas—another surprise boxoffice performer with more than $143 million earned domestically through the end of June.

　　华纳兄弟来自道恩·强森的灾难片《末日崩塌》的票房收获同样颇丰——贯穿6月末国内票房超过1.43亿美元，票房业绩的另一个惊喜。

　　HALF-WAY STATISTICS 中场统计

　　Looking at summer alone（May 1-June 30），the halfway point of the industry’s most lucrative season claimed $2.31 billion—the second-highest total ever， just over 3 percent behind 2013’s $2.39 billion.Estimated ticket sales（basedon dividing grosses by average ticket prices）so far give this summer the secondhighest attendance（behind 2013 again） since 2004. This summers i up more than 12 percent from the same point in 2014.

　　纵观这个夏季（5月1日—6月30日），行业最赚钱的档期的中途收获了23.1亿美元——史上第二高总额，仅比2013年的23.9亿美元落后3%。估计门票销售（基于票房除以平均票价）目前为止让今年夏季达到了自2004年起第二高的上座率（再次落后于2013年）。今年夏季比2014年同期增长了12%以上。

　　2ND QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE STATISTICS 第二季度与年初至今统计

　　2015’s April-May-June time frame didn’t just set a record gross-wise；it also achieved the best estimated attendance of any second quarter since 2004.

　　2015年4、5、6月时间段不仅创下总票房纪录，也实现了自2004年起第二季度最佳的预计上座率。

　　Year-to-date，2015 stood at nearly $5.56 billion through June 30.That’s a record pace at the year‘s halfway mark， eclipsing 2012’s $5.39b illion at the same point.Compared to 2014，this year is up nearly 6.5 percent.

　　年初至今，2015年至6月30日收获接近55.6亿美元。对年中大关而言是创纪录的速度，超越了2012年同期的53.9亿美元。相比2014年，今年上涨了近6.5%。

　　FUN FACT 有趣的事实

　　The story of three massive opening weekends in such a short time span is symbolic of the many records that have fallen so far this yea rB. etween Furious7，Avengers： Age of Ultron， and JurassicWorld， that trio represented the first three films to ever debut north of $145 million within 10 weekends of each other. The closest that had evercome to happening before was in 2012：The HungerGames，Marvel’s The Avengers， and The Dark KnightRises all posted $152.5 million-or-higher opening weekends，but were separated by 17 weekends.

　　如此短的时间间隔内三个

　　热销首映周的故事象征着迄今为止许多纪录已经作古。《速度与激情7》、《复仇者联盟：奥创纪元》与《侏罗纪世界》的组合代表有史以来连续三部电影北美首映首次在10个周末内便都超越1.45亿美元。曾经发生过最接近的情况是2012年《饥饿游戏》、漫威的《复仇者联盟》与《蝙蝠侠：黑暗骑士崛起》均于首映周赚得1.525亿美元甚或更高，但三者时隔17周。
