　　　"The Croods' topped the box office this weekend with an estimated $44.7 million in the U.S. and Canada, a solid start that DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. hopes will turn into profits as schoolchildren are on spring break over the next few weeks.　
　　　　《疯狂原始人》(The Croods)上周末在美国和加拿大以据估计达4,470万美元的收入夺得票房冠军。梦工厂(DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.)希望，在学生们即将于几周后放春假的当口，这一良好的开端能够转变成利润。　
　　　　Other DreamWorks movies with similar openings have had different outcomes. November 2010's 'Megamind' enjoyed a $46 million launch and ended up with a middling $148 million domestic total. But the better-regarded 'How to Train Your Dragon,' which opened in March of that year, started with $44 million and ended up with $218 million, good enough to spawn a sequel that is now in production.　
　　　　梦工厂出品的其它开局良好的电影却各自有不同的结局。2010年11月上映的《超级大坏蛋》(Megamind)在上映首周末获得了4,600万美元的票房，但其最终在美国国内只获得了乏善可陈的1.48亿美元的总票房。同年3月推出的评价更高的《驯龙高手》(How to Train Your Dragon)在上映首周末获得4,400万美元的票房，但最终则收获了2.18亿美元的总票房，这一成绩好到足以催生一部目前已经在制作中的续集影片。　
　　　　'The Croods,' a comedy about a family of cavemen, cost about $135 million to make.　
　　　　《疯狂原始人》这部喜剧讲述的是山洞人一家的故事，制作成本约为1.35亿美元。　
　　　　The action movie 'Olympus Has Fallen,' featuring Gerard Butler as a former security agent protecting a president played by Aaron Eckhart, enjoyed a surprisingly robust $30.5 million opening. Financed by Millennium Films for about $70 million, it was released domestically by FilmDistrict Distribution LLC.　
　　　　动作片《奥林匹斯陷落》(Olympus Has Fallen)上映首周末令人意外地取得了3,050万美元的强劲票房。Millennium Films为本片提供了大约7,000万美元的资金，该片在美国国内由FilmDistrict Distribution LLC发行。影片讲述的是由杰拉德巴特勒(Gerard Butler)饰演的一位前特工保护由艾伦艾克哈特(Aaron Eckhart)扮演的总统的故事。　
　　　　But 'Admission,' a comedy starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd, was rejected by audiences. After being savaged by many critics, it opened to a weak $6.4 million. The movie was released by Focus Features, the specialty unit of Comcast Corp.'s Universal Pictures.　
　　　　但由蒂娜菲(Tina Fey)和保罗路德(Paul Rudd)主演的喜剧片《爱在招生部》(Admission)则受到了观众的冷遇。在遭到很多评论家猛烈抨击后，这部影片上映首周末仅获得了640万美元的票房。该片由康卡斯特(Comcast Corp.)旗下环球影业(Universal Pictures)的专业部门焦点电影公司(Focus Features)发行。　
　　　　Overseas, 'The Croods' took in $46.3 million from 47 markets, with the biggest grosses coming from Russia and Mexico. Including previews the prior weekend, the international total is $63.3 million.　
　　　　在海外，《疯狂原始人》从47个市场获得了4,630万美元的票房，其中票房成绩最好的两大市场是俄罗斯和墨西哥。如果算上此前一个周末的预映收入，该片的国际总票房已经达到6,330万美元。
