You can go Ace. The article said "hardly nay straight males...."

Ace is so giddy about the prospect of a date with Allah he posted twice. That's okay, Ace, we would be, too. :)

Looks like no more roping, riding, and redecorating movies.

Notice how Ace has been playing coy about this entire thing? He won't say yes. He won't say no. Makes you wonder.

HYAH! whistle HYAH!

You know that feeling you get when you reach down into the wood chipper to see what's jamming it? Yeah... that feeling.

And after checking the mojo, not only is Brokeback Mountain dropping in receipts throughout the week, but so is Kong.
Meanwhile Narnia is actually climbing.

Of course Kong still took in more a week after opening than Jim Carreys latest snore fest, Fun with Dick & Jane

I have heard there is a scene showing Anne Hathaway's rack . The filmmakers must have added it to the script as a ray of hope for any straight males that attend this film

Of course the gay males, who hoped to see some straight males squirm in their seats at the movie. will not like having the tables turned on them.

Another Kong issue comes to mind. What is the most successful remake in cinematic history? The track record for such doesn't strike me as strong incentive for pouring a ton of money on a remake proposal.

Keep in mind it's only a remake if the work is best known by its film incarnation. Books that have been adapted to film multiple times, like 'Treasure Island,' don't qualify.

The choice to remake 'Fun with Dick and Jane' is nothing short of mystifying but I can understand somebody having a soft spot in their heart for the original. I liked it but I was 14 when it was in heavy rotation on cable. (Now 'The Black Bird' is the great George Segal movie of that era.) Even if a convincing argument can be made for a new version of this story being a decent draw, that would only hold water if the production budget was kept modest. This would be a reasonable expectation for a movie with no major special effects or other things that typically make for an expensive movie.

The sucker came in at $100,000,000

For all of Kong's disappointing performance it will almost certainly manage a profit globally. OTOH, 'Dick & Jane' will hang like a albatross against everything else Sony does, possibly right up until 'Spider-man 3.'

If you take the final gross and divde by $10 or whatever the average ticket price is, you might be able to tell how many gay men there are in this country. Or you could just count the men at the Oscar ceremonies.

Personally, I thought Rollercoaster was George Segal's finest effort.

Call me old-fashioned, but a Gay Cowboy movie had better damn well be a musical. Otherwise it's just a film with gays riding horses and, eventually, each other.

Sorry, Andy, you go watch Heath and Jake - I'll be watching a real Gay Cowboy Movie - 'Paint Your Wagon' - this week at the Cinematron.

Brokeback Mountain had an excellent weekend this past weekend, pulling in the highest $/theater of any major film.

Its expansion includes "non-blue states" and suburbs where it did quite well. While a number of folks including the quoted "analyst"(??) wished that it was not successful, it is doing extremely well at this stage and is obviously playing well to non-gays.

It appears to be a great movie that will capture a sizable audience and is revealing as false the notion that gay characters will only appeal to a gay audience.

This has all the earmarks of being a watershed film. Time will tell. It should be interesting.

It's easy to have a high $/theater count when you're only in 270 theaters and have a massive free-publicity campaign behind you.

What do you suppose would happen if it were in 1500 theaters? Think that $/theater count would be high?

No it would not have the same $/theater at this point if it was in 1500 theaters.

But this $/theater is very, very good at this point in the role out. It may not have as wide an appeal as Million Dollar Baby but it is exceeding what Million Dollar baby did at this point in its roll out.

Not that I am saying that this film will do as well but I am saying that it is doing really really well. The numbers really are good in spite of the spin of the original article.

Million Dollar Baby built over time and ran 191 days.

There is a lot of free publicity and "buzz" about the film. Here for example. But that happens when a "cord is struck". I just don't buy the "collective Hollywood machine decided to crank up for this movie to pursue and agenda" conspiracy theories. It is just the way forces are coming together.

By the way. One of the intersting things about the original article was the way that the author tried to make Brokeback Mnt's box office numbers look bad.

For example he showed Mon as down 51% on Mon and 9.1% on Tues etc.

What he did not say was that Narnia was down 63% on Mon and down

So he either is not very informed or is rather deceptive with actual information.
