While I think that the cruelly funny Bruno will suffer a precipitous decline in its box-office fortunes once people realize it isn't another Borat, enough unsuspecting Americans bought tickets to the cock-heavy mockumentary this weekend to give it a narrow triumph ($30.4M) over Ice Age 3: More Ice Age ($28.5M | $120.5M). The vile Transformers 2: Racist CGI Moron Porn finished a close third ($24.2M | $339.2M), well ahead of a not-quite-there Public Enemies ($14.1M | $66.5M) and a resilient The Proposal ($10.5M | $113.7M).
The Hangover continued to, uh, hang around ($9.9M | $222.4M). It easily topped the dull I Just Want to Slip in the Tip, Beth Cooper ($5M), which barely held off the wonderful Up ($4.6M | $273.7M). The shamelessly wholesome My Sister's Keeper ($4.1M | $35.8M) and the delightfully nihilistic The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 ($1.6M | $61.4M) rounded out the top 10. In limited release, the hysterical Humpday ($14,500 per theater) easily out-thrusted the, uh, powerful, Soul Power ($4183) and Blood: The Last Vampire ($5150).

I really enjoyed Bruno. Ice Age was tempting, but it seemed too cock-heavy.
bruno was hysterical! i can't WAIT to see soul power this week. :)
Agreed on all counts. The visceral reaction of some of the audience members at Bruno was almost as funny as the movie. The guy sitting next to me was talking to the screen by the end of the movie.
This week I'll be hitting up Bruno, Harry Potter and Food, Inc. (Finally.)
omg! in the yellow picture, they airbrushed so much they took his nipple right off! haa haaa!
