"Seeing the film disturbed me. I felt that, just as the ancient Egyptians had removed a corpse's brain through the nostril with a slender hook before mummification, the cast and crew of this film, from the director down, had gotten into my mind and pulled out images."

"F" Foley

An excerpt from Box Office Mojo's Q&A with Jack Foley, Focus Features' distribution chief, dated January 18, 2006:

Box Office Mojo:  How is ["Brokeback Mountain"] performing?

Foley:   Superbly. That whole rollout process was designed to establish more momentum.  It's doing phenomenally well.  For example, the strategy in Kansas City -- and I used to live there -- was a very aggressive approach.  We took it to Westport, and at the same time we went into affluent Johnson County and we played the Glenwood Fine Arts and AMC's megaplex in Olathe, Kansas, and it did $35,000 there that weekend and we never came out of there.  I deliberately took that approach in Kansas City to perk up the artsy community.  I experiment.  If it hadn't worked, I'd have slowed down.

"I" is indie-dominated
« Reply #17708 on: July 17, 2008, 01:49:20 pm »
The best-picture race at the 78th Academy Awards was an indie-dominated contest:  four of the five nominated films -- "Crash," "Capote," "Good Night, and Good Luck" and favorite "Brokeback Mountain" -- were produced outside of the Hollywood studio system.
