Weekend Report: ‘Bruno’ Not as Brawny as ‘Borat'
Bruno strutted to the top of the box office but wasn't quite in vogue, leading to a relatively slow July session. Overall, the weekend was the least attended for the timeframe in 17 years and down five percent from last year.
Striking approximately 3,400 screens at 2,756 venues, Bruno donned a solid $30.6 million, which was less than I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, another "gay panic" comedy from July 2007. Despite a higher-grossing debut, Bruno didn't make a statement like Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen's previous "mockumentary." That picture opened to $26.5 million at only 837 theaters, and then made $28.3 million in its second weekend, when it expanded to 2,566 theaters, culminating in a $128.5 million final tally.
Breaking the weekend gross down, Bruno had one of the steepest Friday-to-Saturday drops on record, slipping 39 percent from $14.4 million on Friday to $8.8 million on Saturday. For the most part, movies with such Saturday slides do not hold up well in the long run, rendering Bruno's chances at reaching $100 million remote. Universal Pictures, which stressed that it paid Bruno producer Media Rights Capital $42.5 million for the distribution rights, reported an audience composition of 56 percent male and 54 percent 25 years and older, based on exit polling. In their research, the main reasons people checked off for seeing the movie were the "Humor" (74 percent), Sacha Baron Cohen (57 percent), Borat (52 percent) and the "Outrageousness" (50 percent).
Bruno's marketing campaign boiled down to "here's more outrageous humor from the Borat guy," making the movie look like a sequel with Cohen sporting a similarly kooky voice in pseudo-documentary settings. But as Bruno's tagline stated, Borat was so 2006. Borat was a unique phenomenon and the frenzy faded in the nearly three years since its release. It's hard for comedy follow-ups to even match their predecessors once people already get the joke, and Bruno's ads lacked the purpose and clarity of Borat's, which were driven by perennially popular culture clash comedy. What's more, Cohen's Bruno caricature lacked Borat's connection to reality, and its fashionista theme was less accessible to the moviegoers that patronize this type of stunt humor.
Hot on Bruno's heels, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs eased 34 percent to $27.6 million, propelling its total to $119.7 million in 12 days, or nearly as much as predecessor Ice Age: The Meltdown in the same amount of time. The percentage drop was less than the first Ice Age and Ice Age: The Meltdown.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen leveled off somewhat, down 43 percent to $24.2 million for a better third weekend than the first Transformers. In a mere 19 days, the action sequel has generated $339.2 million, surpassing the final hauls of Transformers and Spider-Man 3 among others to rank 16th on the all time top grosser list.
Public Enemies took a standard hit in its second weekend, retreating 45 percent to $13.8 million. That was less than the second weekends of Road to Perdition and Collateral, but the picture's $66.2 million 12-day take was higher.
Despite Bruno's arrival, the market's other major comedies had the best holds among nationwide releases. The Proposal declined 18 percent to $10.6 million, lifting its total to $113.9 million and charting as star Sandra Bullock's fourth vehicle to cross $100 million. The Hangover had the smallest dip of its remarkable run, slowing 12 percent to $9.9 million. With $222.4 million in 38 days, it has grossed more than Wedding Crashers and will soon beat it in terms of attendance as well, ranking as one of the most theatrically popular ribald comedies of all time.
Also opening nationwide over the weekend was I Love You Beth Cooper, which went the way of most recent teen sex comedies like Sex Drive and Miss March: registering as a blip with $4.9 million at 1,858 sites.

Sixth ‘Harry Potter’ Posts Franchise-Best Opening Day
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince had an opening day fit for a king. On Wednesday, the sixth entry in the blockbuster franchise conjured $58.2 million on nearly 10,000 screens at 4,275 sites. That ranked as the second-biggest Wednesday ever behind Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen's $62 million, and fourth-biggest among all opening days.
More importantly, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince captured the largest first day of the Harry Potter series by a wide margin. Predecessor Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was the previous high. Back in 2007, it also debuted on a Wednesday in mid-July and grossed $44.2 million out of the gate on around 9,000 screens at 4,181 sites. It tumbled 58 percent to $18.4 million the next day and went on to have a $77.1 million opening weekend. By the end of its run, it had made $292 million.
Included in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince's opening day was a record gross for midnight shows. On Wednesday at 12:01 a.m., the picture played at 3,003 sites and generated $22.2 million. The previous benchmark was The Dark Knight's $18.5 million midnight start.
At the foreign box office, Harry Potter raked in $45.85 million from 33 territories on Wednesday, which means that the worldwide opening day tally was a record-breaking $104 million. The United Kingdom was the top foreign territory with $7.6 million on 1,305 screens, which was the biggest Wednesday ever there, and was 35 percent higher than the previous movie.
WEDNESDAY [07/16/2009] TOP 10
1 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince $58,175,412
2 Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs $3,411,498
3 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen $2,443,391

I'm going to buy the 3rd season of Lost on DVD but I've heard negative things about this one, so I don't know if it's worth buying like the previous two. Which season do you think it's the best, excluding the first one? (without revealing anything please, i just finished the second)

I have the first four seasons and I personally think that the second is the best, but that's just me. It had a lot of action and story and it got me really involved. After the third season ... I stopped buying them, but that's because of how the series turned out and what the whole show was being revolved around.

Not finals but fast nationals. They shouldn't change much when final numbers come out.
