在经济学人 好莱坞新模式那篇文章里 ,看到这个词,查了很多词典都没有查到,读写参考里是翻译为打破票房记录.这就是这个词的原意吗?还是有什么其他的意思?
谁能告诉我哪里可以查到啊/\?

house:
7 a : a place of business or entertainment <a movie house> b (1) : a business organization <a publishing house> (2) : a gambling establishment

Because the article you mentioned appears in the Economist, I think "beat the house" most likely means "winning against a business organisation."
It could also mean that smaller player wins over the established large business against odds...
