BORAT may receive a warm welcome at the box office this weekend. Fandango surveyed several thousand moviegoers planning to see the new Sacha Baron Cohen comedy and found that:

* 96% of those planning to see BORAT will see the movie during its opening weekend;

* 43% claim that the Kazakhstan government’s complaints about BORAT have only increased their interest in seeing the movie;

* 24% had not heard of Kazakhstan until BORAT came along;

* 59% would be “very interested” in seeing Sacha Baron Cohen’s follow-up movie, BRUNO;

* The majority of respondents rank Sacha Baron Cohen at the top of their list of favorite comedic film actors (outpacing his TALLADEGA NIGHTS rival Will Ferrell; see list below).
