Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest ‘outing’ Bruno, sashayed straight to the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office in North America, according to estimates released today.
The “mockumentary,” in which British star Baron Cohen plays a gay Austrian fashion model seeking fame in the United States, sold $30.4 million worth of tickets during the three days beginning July 10, according to distributor Universal Pictures.
It was thought questions would arise as to whether Baron Cohen’s flamboyant gay persona might prove off-putting to certain audiences – clearly that hasn’t been the case…
Well done Sacha, my boy!
