Borat Rules the Box Office Again

Posted on November 13, 2006

For the second week in a row, Borat ruled the box office, making an estimated $29,0000 million, with a very nice $11,301 per screen average. In second place was The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, which made $16,893,000. In third place was Flushed Away, which made an estimated $16,710,000.

Opening this past weekend was the delightful new Will Ferrell/Emma Thompson comedy, Stranger Than Fiction, which came in fifth with an estimated box office of $14,100,000. The film made an impressive $6,227 per theater. We loved this film: Ferrell shows he has both comedic and dramatic talent, and Emma Thompson is hilarious as a neurotic literary author who spends her days figuring out how to kill of her main character. Dustin Hoffman as the literary professor who tries to diagnose Harold Crick's (Ferrell's) problem is also a standout. Is Crick in a comedy? A tragedy? Will he die? It's well-worth seeing the film just to find out.
