"War of the Worlds" opens in China

24日,《世界之战》在内地举行了零点首映。但昨晚的票房并不理想,看电影的人只占到了30%左右。不过记者也发现,对于这样近乎惊悚的科幻电影,受到许多年轻男观众的喜爱,而女观众则大多认为电影过于血腥暴力。影片也打出了请少年儿童在大人的陪同下观看影片的建议。

 

"War of the Worlds" opens in China

Steven Spielberg's latest blockbuster "War of the Worlds" opened in the Chinese mainland on Tuesday.

Chinese stars Xu Jinglei and Peng Dan attended the premiere ceremony last night in Beijing.

The publisher said that no violence and bloodshed scenes will be cut for the screening but suggested that kids should enter cinemas with their parents.   

This film has pocketed nearly 600 million dollors in box office takings across the world. The debuting day takings in Hong Kong reached 1.8 million HK dollars.   

About 350 copies of the film will be sent to cinemas across China.   

Starring Tom Cruise, it is a contemporary retelling of H.G. Wells's seminal classic. The sci-fi adventure thriller reveals the extraordinary battle for the future of humankind through the eyes of one American family fighting to survive it.
