Chinese 3D epic “Monster Hunt” dominates foreign box office

Chinese 3D epic "Monster Hunt" dominated the foreign box office this weekend, picking up a leading $72 million.

中国的3D史诗级《捉妖记》占据了外国电影榜周末票房的第一名，以7200万美元领先。

The fantasy adventure is smashing records, setting a new benchmark for opening day and single day grosses ever for a local film. It also pulled in $8.7 million from Imax screenings, a new opening weekend record for a Chinese-produced film, topping 2014's "The Monkey King".

这一奇幻冒险打破了记录，为当地电影设置了一个新的上映日票房标准和单日票房标准。它还从Imax荧幕上吸纳了870万美元，是中国电影的首映周末新纪录，超过了2014年的《大闹天宫》。

The film is drawing crowds for its special effects-driven battles between humans and monsters. It's not the only Chinese release doing big business. "Pancake Man", a comedy about a fading movie star who finds himself in danger, racked up $61 million, nabbing third place on overseas charts, while "Monkey King: Hero is Back," roped in $21.5 million for a fifth place finish.

这部电影是用人类与妖魔之间的战争特技来吸引人群的。这不是唯一一部大赚了一笔了的中国发行影片。《煎饼侠》一部关于一个发现自己处于危险之中的正在衰落的电影明星的喜剧，累积了6100万美元，拿下了海外电影榜中第三位，而《西游记之大圣归来》，拿下了2150万美元，排在第五位。

Second place went to Universal and Illumination Entertainment's "Minions", which added $66.2 million to its haul, bringing its global total to $625.8 million. The film is screening in 56 territories, with eight more territories slated for release over the next two months.

第二名被坏球的《Minions》拿下，为它这一批增加了6620万美元，使其全球总额达到了6.258亿美元。这部电影正在全球56个地区上映，在接下来的两个月里，还会陆续在另外8个地区上映。

"Ant-Man", Marvel and Disney's latest superhero adventure, nabbed fourth place with $56.4 million. The comicbook movie opened in 37 markets, including such major territories as Russia, France, Australia, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Mexico. Globally, the film, which topped the domestic box office with $58 million, has earned $114.4 million.

《蚁人》漫威和迪士尼最近出版的超级英雄冒险片，用5640万美元的票房成绩拿下了排行榜第四名。这部漫画电影在37个市场上映，其中包括像俄罗斯，法国，澳大利亚，英国，巴西和墨西哥这样的主要地区。这部电影以5800万美元的票房成绩拿下了国内票房的第一名，在全球范围内，赚取了10144亿美元。
