Borat Tops the Box Office

Posted on November 6, 2006

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan led the box office this past weekend with an estimated take of $26,375,000. In second place was The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause which made an estimated $20 million. In third place was the other family-friendly film, Flushed Away, which made an estimated $19,100,000.

Saw III made another $15,500,000, bringing its total to $60,077,000. Saw IV is already in the works: expect more fun torture scenes to hit theatres on Halloween, 2007. Martin Scorcese's The Departed came in fifth with an estimated $8 million, bringing its total take to $102,282,000.

And for those of you who are hoping to horrify beachgoers everywhere, you can buy Borat's neon man-thong swimsuit on Ebay. There are some articles comparing the Borat character to Mahir Cagri who was famous for his "I Kiss You" homepage. Fortunately, Mahir never wore the neon man-thong.
