Tags:

Sacha Baron Cohen’s equal-opportunity offender Bruno is barging into theaters this weekend, promising enough outrageous shtick to lure in the most reluctant of moviegoers, if Read the full post.

    Watch Bruno here, this site worked for me:

    You just have to fill out a little survey then it takes you right to the movie! Enjoy :)

    Using the word “But” as the beginning a sentence is bad grammar and you used it twice, in two successive sentences, no less — the last two lines in your paragraph about Bruno’s grosses. I realize times are tough. If EW can’t hire writers who know and follow Time Inc. style guidelines, however, maybe at least the publication can bring in a copy editor to go over the text before it runs. Don’t give me any “and”s or “but”s at the start of sentences, please, though I can tolerate some “if”s….

    Duh, in making a complaint about EW’s grammar I made a typo — my first line should read “as the beginning of a sentence.”
    I will take my spanking now.

    Heck, I have a house with 3 teenagers and we can’t wait to see Bruno! Borat was funny as hell, but I would love to see Bruno on Bill O’Reilly’s show. ;o)

    Transformers Revenge of The Fallen could become the 15th highest grossing movie of all time this weekend and just three weeks into its box office run.

    I think Bruno will open bigger. It has “must see immediately” status with the under-30 crowd. I bet an opening in the 40s.

    Bruno will win the box office only because most of the public likes to see a worthless brain dead comedy, than again the major saturation campaign for it has had a lot of people feeling like they’ve already seen this dumb movie. I wish stupid movies like this wouldn’t do well but I’m wrong, oh well.

    Is it possible that mark/usa doesn’t realize Bruno isn’t real?!? If so, hilarious!!

  • Early overnight box office reporting:

    1) Bruno 14m
    2) Ice Age 8.4m
    3) Transformers 7.6m
    4) Public Enemies 4.3m
    5) The Proposal 3.3m
    In other words: Bruno should be the easy number one this weekend unless it collapses over the course of the next two days. Ice Age and Transformers will have a heated battle for the number two spot. Transformers just became one of the 20 highest grossing films of all time with its current box office sitting at nearly 325 million dollars in the U. S. and over 650 million worldwide. Public Enemies received much hate this week as it slid nearly 60% from its opening three days. And The Proposal is still hanging in there.
