如果有人问:2002年北美票房最不可捉摸的月份是几月?我一定会毫不犹豫地回答——“十月”。之所以有这样的答案,是因为遍览过去几年的记录就可以不很困难地发现,从1995年开始到2001年,7年时间里仅仅只有一部10月上映的影片,曾经挤进过年度前20名的首周票房榜,而这部影片还是与这个月份同样表现平平的《拜见岳父(Meet The Perents)》。十月份的确曾经是好莱坞各家大公司最轻视的一个月份,往往缺乏高投入和大制作的影片,甚至可以说是最无趣的一个月份。
If someone asks how many of the most elusive months in North America at the box office in 2002? I will definitely not hesitate to answer “October.” The reason for such an answer is that it is not difficult to see through the records of the past few years that only one movie released in October from 1995 to 2001 and seven years has been squeezed into The top 20 box office charts for the year, and the film is “Meet The Perents” similarly mediocre this month. October was indeed one of the most delusional months of the big Hollywood companies, often lacking heavily invested and big-time videos, or even the most boring month.
