Star Wars: The Force Awakens generated more than half a billion dollars in its opening weekend, smashing the box office record in the US and underscoring why Walt Disney paid bn for the rights to the series three years ago. 電影《星球大戰(zhàn)：原力覺醒》(Star Wars: The Force Awakens)在首發(fā)周末就收得逾5億美元票房，打破了美國票房紀(jì)錄，從而凸顯出三年前沃爾特迪士尼公司(Walt Disney)斥資40億美元購買該系列版權(quán)的原因。
The film grossed 8m in the US, higher than the 8m mark set this year by Universal Studios’ Jurassic World, and an additional 9m around the world. 該電影在美國共斬獲2.38億美元票房，超過了今年由環(huán)球影業(yè)(Universal Studios)的《侏羅紀(jì)世界》(Jurassic World)創(chuàng)下的2.08億美元紀(jì)錄。此外，該電影在全球其他地區(qū)還收得2.79億美元票房。

The Force Awakens could lift total annual US box office returns past bn for the first time and power global takings above bn, according to Paul Dergarabedian, a senior analyst with Rentrak, which monitors box office performance. 根據(jù)Rentrak資深分析師保羅德加拉伯迪安(Paul Dergarabedian)的說法，《原力覺醒》或許會首次將美國全年總票房推升至超過110億美元，并導(dǎo)致全球總票房超過400億美元。Rentrak是一家跟蹤研究電影票房收入的機(jī)構(gòu)。
The launch of the first Star Wars film in a decade comes amid concerns about the growth prospects of ESPN, Disney’s sports cable network — and the main driver of the company’s profits. Rich Greenfield, analyst with BTIG Research, cut his earnings estimates for 2017, warning that ESPN’s profitability would “meaningfully underperform investor expectations”. 這是十年內(nèi)推出的首部星球大戰(zhàn)電影，該電影推出之際，人們正在擔(dān)心迪斯尼旗下體育電視網(wǎng)ESPN的增長前景——該電視網(wǎng)是迪斯尼盈利的主要來源。BTIG Research分析師里奇格林菲爾德(Rich Greenfield)降低了對迪斯尼2017年的盈利估計(jì)，并警告說ESPN的盈利能力或?qū)?ldquo;大大低于投資者預(yù)期”。
Disney’s media networks division, which includes ESPN, generates more than 50 per cent of group operating income. However, ESPN has high, fixed costs based on its acquisition of marquee sports rights at a time of shifting viewing behaviour: the sports network lost an estimated 3m subscribers in the year to August, according to Nielsen, the research firm. 包括ESPN在內(nèi)的迪斯尼媒體網(wǎng)絡(luò)部門所產(chǎn)生的營業(yè)利潤超過了該集團(tuán)的50%。不過，根據(jù)研究機(jī)構(gòu)尼爾森(Nielsen)的說法，對室內(nèi)體育賽事轉(zhuǎn)播權(quán)的收購，為ESPN帶來了高昂的固定成本，而如今觀眾的收視行為卻處于變化之中：在截至今年8月的一年里，該體育電視網(wǎng)的注冊人數(shù)估計(jì)喪失了300萬。
