So Borat's not playing the theaters here.
What the fuck, Empire Studios? You had the big cardboard cut-out in your lobby since September!

FOX cut the movie from a lot of theaters, probably for money?

Yes.
It's so simple!
Less theaters means less people who go to watch it, means more money! Of course!

no, it means they dont have to pay money for it to play in multiple theatres...and that if it bombed it wouldnt be on a huge scale.

Wikipedia is always correct, so this should explain Fox's cutbacks.
| Quote: | | In late October, less than two weeks before the film's debut, Twentieth Century Fox scaled back its American release from 2,000 to 800 cinemas after marketing-survey data showed unexpectedly poor levels of audience awareness, with only 27% of respondents being aware of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan compared with percentages as high as 81% for the film's opening-weekend competitors. In addition, a movie industry analyst has said that executives feared Americans would not get the comic's Kazakhastani journalist character. The move surprised industry professionals, who could not recall such a move being made so close to a film's release |

no, but im sorry, im a moron for thinking you were lying about seeing the movie several times, since youve never lied about anything on this forum before. |
WRONG
Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

It's part of the name of the movie. He didn't say it was the ENTIRE name of the movie. So nitpicking failure.

Who else is getting ready to see Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan looks great. |

Also, according to the "infallible" wikipedia, it's Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan with a colon, not an exclamation point.

Yes, we never say full movie titles because all movie titles are 12 words long.

...what's your point? this specific movie was twelve words long, and is more often than not just called "borat". in fact, unless it's a news article or formal introduction of the movie, ive ONLY heard it called "borat".
sorry, son. your attempt to pretend to be smart has failed.
