As I watched the morning news on NBC, one of the commercials promoted Brokeback Mountain, hailing it as “a smash hit in all 50 states.” Assuming that this is true, and that may be a big assumption, why mention “all 50 states”? I can hear it now…Spider Man 3…a smash hit in all 50 states!

The sad part about all this is Christians who pay to see these kinds of movies, effectively helping to promote and support this junk by making it profitable.
I just checked, brokeback was the 42nd highest grossing film of 2005 (a paltry year for cinema)… hardly a smash hit, especially since aside from March of the Penguins and Crash it had abismal opening sales and failed to even break 10 mil opening weekend… heck Elektra was able to do that.
Tutal,
I was trying to find that website that reports on the movie industry. Do you have a link?
I believe you’re looking for http://boxofficemojo.com .
I know for a fact it was not a hit in Kansas. In Wichita, only one theatre showed it, and it only had one showtime and lasted in the theatre less than a week.

Hello from Topeka, Mrs. T. Swede…
Small world, huh?

The movie didn’t do so good here either.
And let’s not forget The Chronicles of Narnia, which has made more than $220 million MORE than Brokeback.
Plus the Chronic, What? cles of Narnia had one of the funniest SNL sketches in a long time.
