There's a reason they're rolling this movie out so slowly...

I guess when the total box office take is crummy, you talk about sales per screen. There is a reason the movie is on so few screens...a very limited audience. Who really wants to see two gay sheepherders. If there is a sequel, I suggest the sheep go into hiding.

Hollyweirds contribution to society= normalizing homosexuality, promiscuity and a general lowering of morals.

The hack flacking for this film is unreal! Every other box office tally lists the amount of million$ the film grossed over the period. In order to inflate this one, they have to use the "per-screen average." Pure propaganda.

I guess we all need to keep our fingers crossed for this movie's success, right? Isn't it great that all of those Golden Globe nominations for this movie were announced just in time to help make it successful? barf

All this means is that most of the gays are seeing it. I think everybody knew they would go flock to see the movie, it has a built-in niche audience.

Hmm...because of it's relatively limited release, wouldn't it be more accurate to compare the "per theater" earnings of Kong and Narnia in the same cities where Brokeback was showing? Just a thought.

hmmm... I have NEVER (NEVER NEVER NEVER) heard of this 'per screen' average being used to rate a movie success.

I wonder why

Mel Gibson made a half billion for 'The Passion of the Christ'- what is the total take for this piece of excrement ?

They are trying to compare apples to oranges.

Their marketing strategy is to roll it out to the top homo markets across the U.S. They're almost out of markets. The producers spent $14 million to the movie and the box office take has been $8 million, which means the producers have made approximately $4 million of that. They're still $10 million in the hole (pun not intended!) This movie is a flop, regardless of what the gay media cheerleaders try to say.

This is the homosexual "Titanic," a movie that will be seen 10-20 times by males homos as a date movie and by f*g hags. Since there are far less homos than teen girls, the take at the box office will be miniscule for the pudding eating movie in comparison to ship-sinking special effects.

Oh, we're doing per screen averages now?

Don't like the outcome? Change the rules!

Who's ==>afraid<== of a couple of gay cowboys?

What is it with people who think that when normal people are repulsed by the gay life style that they are afraid of it?
