BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhuanet) --"Pirates(海盗) of the Caribbean 4" has achieved the second highest-grossing weekend opening ever for an imported film in China, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The latest installment 1, entitled "On Stranger Tides", opened on May 20 and raked in 142.1 million yuan (21.9 million U.S. dollars) over the following weekend, beating the previous No. 2 holder 2, "Transformers 2", and ranking below "Avatar", a spokesman for Walt Disney Company was quoted as saying on Tuesday, May 24.
"On Stranger Tides" is being screened in China in 2-D, 3-D, and IMAX 3-D.
The movie's China opening was second only to its opening in Russia, where lead actor Johnny Depp made an appearance for the premiere.
The "Caribbean" film made a good start for other Hollywood blockbusters that will follow in China this summer, including "Kung Fu Panda 2" (on May 28), "Transformers 3" (in July), and "Harry 3 Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" (in July), the long-awaited finale of the popular series.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
