A tradução de the highest grossing film

“In recent years, no more than a week goes by without news of a cosmic discovery worthy of banner headlines. While media gatekeepers may have developed an interest in the universe, this rise in coverage likely comes from a genuine increase in the public’s appetite for science. Evidence for this abounds, from hit television shows inspired or informed by science, to the success of science fiction films starring marquee actors, and brought to the screens by celebrated producers and directors. And lately, theatrical release biopics featuring important scientists have become a genre unto itself. Therés also widespread interest around the world in science festivals, science fiction conventions, and documentaries for television.

The highest grossing film of all time is by a famous director who set his story on a planet orbiting a distant star. And it features a famous actress who plays an astrobiologist. While most branches of science have ascended in this era, the field of astrophysics persistently rises to the top. I think I know why. At one time or another every one of us has looked up at night sky and wondered: What does it all mean? How does it all work? And, what is my place in the universe? [. . . ]”

Na passagem do texto “The highest grossing film of all time is by a famous director who set his story on a planet orbiting a distant star.”, a expressão sublinhada pode ser traduzida como:

  1. A) O filme mais comovente
  2. B) O filme mais bem produzido
  3. C) O filme de maior orçamento
  4. D) O filme de maior bilheteria
  5. E) O filme mais aclamado pela crítica
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: D

Em "The highest grossing film of all time is by a famous director", o núcleo é o verbo to gross, que em contexto de cinema significa arrecadar, faturar em bilheteria; highest grossing é, portanto, o de maior arrecadação, alternativa D. A alternativa C é a mais perigosa, porque orçamento é dinheiro gasto na produção (budget), e não o dinheiro que entra — a diferença é exatamente a de custo e receita. B, A e E deslocam o critério para qualidade, emoção ou recepção crítica, mas nada em grossing avalia o filme: o adjetivo é puramente financeiro. Guarde a família: gross revenue, box office e to gross $2 billion aparecem sempre ligados a faturamento.
