Borat #1 at the box office!

Recommended Posts

For all you Borat fans out there, the Borat movie was the #1 movie at the box office this weekend

 

Borat grossed an estimated 26.4 million, whereas the Disney family film The Santa Clause 3 grossed over 20 million, & the Dreamworks/Aardman Animations CGI Toon Flushed Away grossed over 19 million.

 

Add in the fact that Borat was released in just over 800 theatres, while Santa & Flushed were both in over 3000 theatres, makes it even more impressive, if not eye-popping. <_<

 

The sky is the limit for Borat in the weeks to come. It is safe to say that Borat will most likely not be execute.

I really don't think this should surprise anyone, people have been waiting for this movie for a long time and the buzz has been huge, and not like Snakes on a Plane where people were only giving it buzzed because of the stupidity of the title and plot, not like this where people wanted to see it because they are anticipating a hilarious movie

It was hilarious except for a surprisingly disturbing scene which I'm sure those who have seen it can agree with me  ;)  :lol:

Hell no, I thought that scene was hilarious as well. I cringed, but it was in no way distrubing.

Just saw the Ali G segment where he goes to see the Veterinarian ;):lol::lol:

 

And kudos to Pat Buchannon for not being a stuffy anal bastard like most of the other older white guys who he interviews. PB picked up on the schtick pretty quickly and started going with it....that was good stuff :wub:

Borat, of course, is not Borat at all but Sacha Baron Cohen, the British comic and star of HBO's "Da Ali G Show" on which the character makes regular appearances. The shtick is simple: Borat, a descendant of SNL's "wild and crazy guys" and Balki from "Perfect Strangers,

 

Borat is Balki???? Impossible.
