呼！原来＜The Blind Side＞大卖不但创了珊卓姊的个人票房纪录， 原来这更是好莱坞所有只以女演员担纲演出的电影中， 史上第一部破两亿的！！！ 没错，报导里说就连票房大咖Julia Roberts、安裘莉娜、梅姨、瑞丝薇丝朋等都没试过。 Sandra Bullock blindsides US box office with new record Sandra Bullock has made US box-office history after her film The Blind Side became the first solely female-led movie to rake in more than $200m (￡125m), Variety reports. The milestone puts the 45-year-old star of Speed and Miss Congeniality ahead of A-list peers such as Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie and Reese Witherspoon, none of whom have managed a similar feat. The Blind Side, about the attempts of a determined woman (Bullock) to realise the footballing dreams of her troubled foster child, has been a surprise smash in the US, taking $208.5m so far and exhibiting tremendous staying power. The film, based on a true life story, even saw off the challenge of The Twilight Saga: New Moon – both movies were released on 20 November, but while Chris Weitz's film opened at No 1, The Blind Side rose to the top spot by week three and has remained in the top five since. It took another $11m at the weekend, up 4% on its previous week's take. The Blind Side is being seen as another example of Hollywood's increasingly successful courting of the female audience, following the success of the Twilight films, Abba musical Mamma Mia! and the Sex and the City movie. For Bullock, The Blind Side is the cherry on the top of a remarkable year at the box office. The Proposal, her battle-of-the-sexes romcom opposite Ryan Reynolds, also performed impressively, taking $164m in the US. By way of contrast, Julia Roberts's comparable triumph-over-adversity tale Erin Brockovich only grossed $125.6m domestically while Meryl Streep's biggest US hit of all time, The Devil Wears Prada, took $124.7m. --
