Our movie kicked their movie's ass


So there:

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) today celebrates the record-breaking box office success for the opening weekend of "Brokeback Mountain," which bowed in five theaters in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco for an estimated three-day box office take of $544,549, an average of $109,000 per screen. This is both the highest per-screen average for any film released in 2005, and the highest per-screen average ever for an adult drama, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc.


This is against a 18,546 per screen average for Narnia, which is not too shabby either, but hardly the resounding blow against sodomy that the wingnuts had hoped.

OK, so Brokeback Mountain isn't MY movie. And it opened in three cities where the Christofascist Zombie Brigade doesn't exactly have a huge presence. But still -- $109,000 per screen is not exactly chopped liver. And the critics awards are rolling in. The film has already won Best Picture from the Boston Film Critics and Los Angeles Film Critics, and is on many other top 10 lists and the nominees list for other award groups as well.

That sound you hear is that of Christofascist zombies tearing their hair out.
