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.

Yup... the math is a little vague here. Of course BBM is going to post higher per screen numbers because there are far fewer screens to divide the paltry 4.5 million it earned. KK and CONTLWATW are grossing something like 55+ million, but are showing on a hellofalot more screens. Liberal media trying to hype a fag movie...

Oh, they just have shown this crap in place like Castro district in San Francisco and Back Bay/South End in Boston.

Perhaps a fairer comparison would be to compare the earnings for Kong 3 and Narnia in their top markets since BBM is only in places they are guaranteed to get the biggest draw. IE: If BBM is in 100 theaters, take the top 100 from K3 and Narnia.

Still not fair. KK and Narnia are open in more theaters which will dilute per screen earnings. If Narnia and KK were only open on the same number of screens as BB, then a comparision could be made. But the fact of the matter is more people (alot more) are going to see KK and Narnia than BB, but hell, let's not let the facts get in the way.
