The following are unscientific poll results. The results come from my Twitter followers concerning whether or not “The Twitter Effect” killed Bruno’s chance of success at the box office.
Your Answers
I condensed the answers I received into five groups:
1. Money is tight, I can’t afford to see the film right now.
2. I hate Sacha Baron Cohen and his work and the advertising sucked for the film. That is why I did not see Bruno
3. I was on the fence about seeing the film, Twitter comments convinced me not to see it.
4. Bad word of mouth from other media outlets and friends / co-workers convinced me not to see the film.
5. Twitter comments made me want to see it and decide for myself.
Their Answers
Time Magazine, who served as the basis for this post, said the “Twitter Effect” did kill Bruno.
DailyFinance, attempted to counter argue, but ultimately said, “Maybe?”
My Answer
No. Twitter did not kill Bruno. The economy and negative word of mouth across all platforms and among friends kept people from seeing the film. Based on this unscientific poll, that seems to be the consensus.
Personally, being tight on money and the critical word of mouth kept Amanda and I away from seeing the film.
