Here's some statistics for "Borat: Cultural Learning of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" taken from BoxofficeMojo.com.

  • Production Budget: 18 million
  • Opening Weekend: 26.5 million
  • Domestic: 103.5 million
  • Worldwide: 169.5 million

But it's not all smooth sailing for the movie. They're being sued by the Romanian village:

Two Romanians who featured in Borat are suing 20th Century Fox for $30m (£16m), claiming they and their neighbours were depicted as rapists and criminals.

...as well as the frat kids that made racist comments:

Two US students are suing a film studio claiming they were duped into appearing in spoof movie Borat starring Sacha Baron Cohen as a Kazakh journalist.
