'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2' had a sunny weekend at the box office, easily topping other high-profile new movies that opened to disappointing returns.
《美食從天而降2》(Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2)上映首周末票房喜人，輕松戰勝其他備受矚目但成績不佳的新片，奪得上周末票房榜冠軍。
The animated sequel from Sony Corp.'s (SNE, 6758.TO) Sony Pictures Animation grossed $35 million in the U.S. and Canada, outperforming the original 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs' that opened in 2009 to $30.3 million and went on to gross $124.9 million domestically. The sequel cost $78 million to produce and enjoyed a Saturday bump from kids off of school, with ticket sales boosting 63%.
索尼公司(Sony Corp.)旗下索尼影視動畫公司(Sony Pictures Entertainment)出品的這部續集動畫片在美國和加拿大總計收獲3,500萬美元票房，高于首部《美食從天而降》2009年上映首周末3,030萬美元的票房（該片國內總票房為1.249億美元）。這部續集的制作成本為7,800萬美元，而且因為孩子們放假的緣故，該片上周六的票房得到提振，上漲63%。
Two of the weekend's other wide releases, 'Rush' and 'Don Jon, ' had extensive marketing campaigns that didn't seem to translate to extensive ticket sales. 'Rush' had a wide release debut in third place with $10.3 million and 'Don Jon' opened in fifth place with $9 million. Only the romantic comedy 'Baggage Claim' from 21st Century Fox Inc. (FOXA) Fox Searchlight Pictures bucked the trend, with a strong opening weekend in fourth place, grossing $9.3 million on a movie that cost less than $10 million to make. Fox and The Wall Street Journal and this newswire were until recently part of the same company.
上周末另外兩部大規模上映的影片《決戰終點線》(Rush)和《情圣囧色夫》(Don Jon)都進行了大規模的宣傳，但票房并不理想。《決戰終點線》的大規模首映票房收入1,030萬美元，排名第三，《情圣囧色夫》票房900萬美元，排名第五。只有21世紀福克斯(21st Century Fox Inc.)旗下福克斯探照燈工作室(Fox Searchlight Pictures)的浪漫喜劇片《行李認領》(Baggage Claim)逆勢而上，上映首周吸金930萬美元，排名第四，這部影片的制作成本不足1,000萬美元。21世紀福克斯和《華爾街日報》和道瓊斯公司之前曾同屬于一家公司。
Holdover drama 'Prisoners' from Time Warner Inc.'s (TWX) Warner Bros. was in second place with $11.3 million, bringing its cumulative gross to $39 million.
時代華納(TimeWarner Inc.)旗下華納兄弟(Warner Brothers)出品的《囚徒》(Prisoners)排名第二，票房收入1,130萬美元，該片已經上映兩周，累計票房收入3,900萬美元。
