Was Twitter to Blame For Bruno Losing Millions?
After the massive success of ‘Borat’, Sacha Baron Cohen and his film studio were confident that the new movie ‘Brüno’ would do it again with a predicted $50 million opening weekend takings.
But the promised and predicted millions didn’t come. Although it still had a good weekend with takings at a nice $30.4 million, a lot of the expected cash didnt come. And many are pointing the finger at the tweeters from Twitter.
So how did Twitter cost Brüno millions? Well the social chatting site has millions of users who all type what they think in real time. Even just after watching a movie and some of the comments regarding Bruno, were not very complimentary.

Now, many of you will know that Brüno is an outrageous movie in the tradition of Borat, in fact it covers a pretty similar storyline, but it is not impressing a lot of movie watchers. And after watching, they twittered their opinion which travelled fast.
So now that movie watchers are the worlds harshest critics and tweeting to millions of followers. Can people power destroy a movie or make one a classic? Time will tell.

Ah, think the main problem was Bruno itself. I mean Ali G and Borat were FUNNY. And this guys main goal was to shock people not to make them laugh. Still remember how I laughed when i watched Borat. And watching Bruno? Well it gave me a couple of smiles, nothing more. But yeah, PEOPLE have the power and in time it will just grow.
p.s.
Hear Baron has new plans. His new charactet will be an European singer trying to win the Eurovision song contest. Knowing the contest is pretty bad, hope the movie and the character will be pretyy GOOD, lol.
