Moviegoers are being offered lots of laughs at domestic multiplexes this weekend, with a pair of comedies targeting distinct audiences unspooling wide Friday.Universal opens Sacha Baron Cohen's R-rated "Bruno," and execs should be high-fiving each other after a solid first frame likely to produce $30 million-plus through Sunday. Fox, which passed on releasing "Bruno" over cost concerns despite success with 2006's "Borat," debuts the Chris Columbus-directed high school comedy "I Love You, Beth Cooper."But Fox's prospects for a lucrative session reside more with the sophomore session of its 3D animated threequel "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs." Even a 60% drop from its first weekend would produce a nifty $20 million or so this frame.
"I expect to have a very solid second session this weekend," Fox distribution president Bruce Snyder said.
