Yes, this will be THE movie that reverses Hoolywood's enormous decline.
I guess you could say it isn't only the Mountain that is broke.
The set of guys willing to plunk down $20 to see a gay cowboy movie is pretty small.
Here's a little ballad from my imaginary soundtrack:
Homo...........homo on the range,
Where the sheep and the shepherds do play,
Where never you'll see,
A man standing to pee,
And everything's merry and gay.
I think you'll see that Karl Rove had a lot to do with this. Many Americans have been glued to their TV's on a incidents that Rove him manipulated to happen during the opening of this movie. The Iraqi Elections for one. Then, even though Bush had taken responsibility before for freeing the Iraqi people, he did so again just before the weekend. Many other stories unfolding as well. Surely Backdoor Mountain would have done much better if Karl Rove wasn't behind the scenes manipulating the news during its debut. Heck, it would have surpassed Titanic's total income by now under normal circumstances!

At this rate, they might as well release "Gigli II".
Umm, no, actually, it's not, and you obviously don't know what you are talking about.
$11,000 per theater, especially the arthouse theaters where a movie like that is likely to play, is probably a sellout audience at most theaters.
The opposition to this film on FR really surprises me. I thought we took a 'live and let live' position. Who cares if it's about gay cowboys? I'm sure there are gay cowboys somewhere out there. If they want a movie, good for them. Might actually be good. I'm not gonna take kids to see it, but its stupid to say that there shouldn't be a movie on that topic.
It's gonna be "broke on their ass" for the producers of this joke of a film.
It's sure to get the Best Picture Oscar now that it's losing money.
Target audience? Gay cowboys?
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Woo hoo!
I'm salivating for Narnia to come out on DVD.
If you look back at, say, some of the early Bond movies, the explosions, etc. were obviously not "real." But they looked real, and most importantly, plausible. Not so today. Everything is over-enhanced and overdone. And apparently the movie going public doesn't like it.
I thought it was called 'Bareback Mountain'?
I'm not interested in sissy cowboys.
Narnia was great.
..maybe it would have done better if they had made a 2 hr. version of the Brokeback Kong parody...
Looks like it won't be showing where I live. A pity, I would have loved to read a review of it in the local rag. I can just see them sweating over it -- how do we push the homosexual agenda without disgusting our readership?
Another blow for Blue-State America.
I knew this was going to happen, but it makes me feel really good to see it in print.
