Borat 2 Draws Tens of Millions Of Viewers to Amazon Prime For Great Pride Of Kazakhstan

Sacha Baron Cohen's new Borat film is a huge hit for Amazon. "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" drew in tens of millions of viewers on Amazon's Prime Video service throughout its opening weekend, the company announced.
