The opposite seems to be happening to District 9, a Peter Jackson produced sci-fi movie whose title has been a steady member of Twitter trends for the last two days. The buzz is mostly positive, and it seems to be reflected everywhere. The movie's IMDB rating is an incredible 8.8/10, and the box office numbers for the relatively cheap hit (the estimated budget is 30 million dollars) are great.
Both movies - Bruno and District 9 - made over 14 million dollars on opening night. On the second day, Bruno fell to meager 8.7 million, while District made a respectable 12.6 million dollars.
