Nope. It's broken records for per-screen ticket sales. They're platform-releasing it, hoping the critical applause and awards nominations will draw in viewers who would have otherwise ignored it. Very smart marketing strategy. It's made $3.5 mil so far on a budget of $15 mil, and it's in something like less than 5% the number of theaters something like King Kong is in. By the time it is in more theaters, some people will want to see "the movie getting on all the Best of lists and all the award nominations".

People who know I'm into movies have wondered why I'm not going to see this, and I grow tired of defending my choice. If your idea of a good time is watching two annoying prettyboy actors for two hours, have fun. Some folks consider it tantamount to a hate crime to have no interest in this.

There are plenty of movies available for everyone out there, so I don't know why some people are so alarmed by this movie--they seem to think its existence will "turn" people gay. That's just silly. But it's equally silly to hear so many people calling this a classic when they haven't even seen it yet.

What it does is reinforce the gay lifestyle and helps move sexually undecided young men further into a deadly, immoral, decision.

In that sense, it makes men gay.
