Bruno Offends Way to Top

Share

(Newser) – Bruno catwalked its way to the top of the box office this weekend, taking in $30.4 million, the Los Angeles Times reports. That’s a better debut than Sacha Baron Cohen’s earlier button-pusher Borat saw, though Bruno faced a steep drop-off in ticket sales after Friday. Holdovers Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs ($28.5 million), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ($24.2 million), and Public Enemies ($14.1 million) rounded out the top four.

Girlfriend was dying to see it so I tagged along. Not that great of a movie, it was shocking though. It has a really depressing part that gay people will most likely cry because. I watched Borat the night before on TV because it had exclusive clips of Bruno. If you watched that yourself you will have seen almost every clip of the movie. It is really short but it felt realllllllllllly long (not in a good way). Reply
