 Borat was photographed hanging out with Hawaiian Tropic models on the beach in Cannes. He was at the Cannes film festival promoting The Borat Movie back in May and made some time to hang on the beach with Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Kristen Ache and Miss Hawaiian Tropic USA Rebecca DiPietro ,
As the title character in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen careens across US society, hoodwinking real, unsuspecting Americans.
Spoof reporter Borat has continued to impress America, remaining at the US box office top spot for a second week.
Early figures show Sacha Baron Cohen's mock documentary took $29 million, beating its first weekend. Borat benefited from a large expansion in the number of screens on which it was showing and has now taken an estimated $67.8 million.
Some analysts had wondered whether 20th Century Fox had made a mistake by launching the film in just 800 cinemas, saying the movie could have rung up millions more on opening weekend if it had gone wider.
But studio bosses said the buzz from the movie's huge debut proved a great prelude to wider release in its second weekend, when it expanded to 2,566 cinemas.
Projections are the movie will rake in $100 million in domestic box office sales. |
