So what.

[dfwgator]

It's cumed $6.1 million foreign so far,

Cumed?

Not Gay cowboys...they are gay sheepherders.

[stevem]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to pass on this one.

Big weekend, but I still think Malick's 'The New World' will beat it. (since he cut it down to 130 minutes)

[msnimje]

I thought this movie was anti-box?

[lugsoul]

Awaiting the arrival of all the "it's a flop - it's a money loser" posters.

[Tzimisce]

Ride the wave of controversy...

[peyton randolph]

MSM is bending over backwards to promote this travesty.

[kingu]

Am I the only person who is particularly disturbed by the concept of associating the word 'playdates' in any manner with Brokeback Mountain? Or is that the next phase - homosexual education in pre-school?

[Sunshine Sister]

I won't be spending a plug nickel on that piece of slop.

[A CA Guy]

That shouldn't last.

80 progressive folks vote Transworld, Syriana, The Palestinian Bomber movie, Capote and Brokeback for awards reflecting the most liberal voting pack of nuts I've ever heard of.

They glorified suicide bombers and being gay this year.

I guess if someone made a film about suicide bombers exploding bombs form their butt, that pack of fools voting would just have died and gone to heaven in their world.

[marron]

It astonishes me that anyone would buy a ticket to this. Who is lining up to see this movie?

[DoughtyOne]

These mid-week figures mostly show what those who don't work for a living are doing. We'll see how the figures hold up this weekend, compared to other offerings.

[Spiff]

I'd love to see the new Christian missionary themed film "End of the Spear" beat Bareback Mountain, but it in in limited release and couldn't do it. The math stinks. Although we may be able to claim victory on a per screen basis.

[MarineBrat]

I wonder how many unsuspecting "actual" men have unknowingly gone to see this movie, tossed their cookies and walked out when they realized that it's a homo-erotic story of sheep-bangers cheating on your wives?

[American Quilter]

Not at my office it isn't.

Brent Bozell made this interesting comment in his Townhall.com column today:

" "Brokeback Mountain" has made a profit now, grossing $30 million for Universal Studios largely in large blue-state metropolitan areas with devoted gay audiences. It is, in one sense, an event for gays like "The Passion of the Christ" was for Christians. You don't just see it. You see it repeatedly. You're in a sense "voting" for it, for Hollywood to make more of it. Gay activists called it their "Gone With the Wind."

I think that explains some of the movie's "popularity".

[pabianice]

Sorry; no. Lefty movies are tanking.

The truth is that most of America is turned-off by Hollywood's insane leftism. Revenues were down again in 2005: -8%. Between lousy movies and technology's ability to deliver to people what they want, Hollywood is on that long slide to oblivion.

[TommyDale]

Was this movie originally titled "The Marlbutt Man"?

[Halls]

And People did an atricle on real Gay cowboys! What's sad is the men they picked out look like a bunch of child molester's!
