　　索尼影业将在本周末在近33家影院播放这部电影，美国的观众们也能一睹最新的中国大片。

　　The other two Chinese films that were released during China's Lunar New Year's Day holiday The Monkey King 2 and The Man From Macau 3 continue their strong run on the Chinese box office. Although both movies are far behind Mermaid in terms of box office numbers, but have been huge hits in their own rights. Monkey King 2 has reportedly collected $147.6 million, while The Man From Macau 3 earned $145.9 million.

　　在中国春节假期期间上映的另外两部电影是《西游记之三打白骨精》和《澳门风云3》。这两部影片在春节期间也表现不俗。尽管这两部电影在票房成绩上与《美人鱼》相距甚远，但它们也凭借自身实力造成轰动。《三打白骨精》票房达1.476亿人民币，而《澳门风云3》则赚得1.459亿票房。
