Anyone have the numbers on how much Barebum Mounters is making? It really isn't making too many waves up here in Canada that I've heard.

The production budget was a mere $14 M ( who knows what the Marketing budget was ? ).

Thus far, worldwide, it has grossed $22 M.

Someone in this thread mentioned that if you want to break even, the rule of thumb figure is you have to gross TWICE your production budget.

Hence, Brokeback Mountain is still in the red based on this rule of thumb.

But this is what the OSCARS will be trying to change by adding "MOMENTUM" to it with their agenda driven awards.

NARNIA, with a production budget of $180 M has already made a humungous profit worldwide --- $475 M ( and going ).

KING KONG, with a production budget of $207 M also has made a profit worldwide at : $465 M ( still short of Narnia ).
