I'll probably drive somewhere else to go see it if we don't get it in the next couple weeks.

Fox cut the number of theaters the movie would be shown in from 2,000 down to 800... Due to a "lack of awareness"...
As the weekend went, the box office estimates coming in (which are usually very accurate) have Borat pulling in $26 mil... $6 mil more than the number 2 film, Santa Clause 3, which was shown on 4 times as many screens as Borat...
"Lack of awareness", eh? Part of me wonders how many of those cut screens were planned to be in America's "heartland"... *strokes chin*
In a freak accident, I ended up sitting next to an elderly couple who, I feared, didn't know exactly what they were getting into... But they sat the whole way through, laughing away with the rest of the sold out crowd...
A hilarious time for all!
