Despite mixed review, Sacha Baron Cohen's latest mockumentary, Bruno, finished first at the box office by grossing $30.4 million. However, all is not great for Bruno. The film was first on Friday, dropped 39% on Saturday and came in third on Sunday. Ouch.
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs came in at No. 2 with $28.5 million, dropping only 32 percent from last weekend. The animated family film has made $120.6 million in two weeks. Third place went to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which grossed $24.2 million in its third weekend, bringing its total to $339.2 million.
Public Enemies (No. 4 with $14.1 million) and The Proposal (No. 5 with $10.5 million) round out the top five. The Proposal marks star Sandra Bullock's first $100 million picture since 2000's Miss Congeniality, and the romantic comedy should have no trouble passing 1994's Speed to become Bullock's biggest hit. The weekend's other new wide release, the teen comedy I Love You, Beth Cooper, opened at No. 7 with $5 million.
