Sasha Baron Cohen’s latest incarnation as wannabe celebrity “Bruno” brought Universal more than 30-million dollars this past weekend. The zany mock documentary opened strong but wrapped up the weekend on a downturn.

The animated “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” ran close behind with nearly 29-million.
