It currently ranks at #23 in the top grossing domestic films and #25 in top grossing foreign films of 2005.

That ain't bad at all. I bet there were a lot of sneak ins..people buying a ticket for another movie and walking into see Brokeback.

ouch Chris, that's harsh  ;)
‘cause the truth is, I already give him everythin’ I got to give, more than I ever even knew I had; ‘n it all for him, all of it, him who is my brother, my father, my child, my friend, my lover, my heart, my soul; my Ennis.

DVD SALES are pure cash for the studio. Focus sold the rights to BBM to a European distributor for USD 15,000,000.  Now matter how much BBM makes in Europe, Focus just got USD 15,000,000.

I know last year The Aviator made 105,000,000USD B.O.(domestic) and 35,000,000USD in DVD sales.  Substantially more DVD sales then MIllion Dollar Baby. Those Leo D fans you know.

The folks at Focus must be smiling.  I'm sure they will easily surpass USD 35,000,000 in local DVD sales.

take that Kong and Naria or whatever they call it.  >:D

I'll miss the box office updates, too, Chris... sniff, sniff...   :-[

Heh.  How about this though?  I went to see The New World but bought a ticket for Brokeback Mountain...

So.  It works in reverse, too... hehehe...   :angel:
I know I shall meet you on that final day! Water Walkin' Jesus, take me away...

Aparantly it has crossed the £10 million mark in Britain over the weekend! Wow I am probably responsible for at least some of that 10 mil, what with me seeing it 5 times and convincing all of my friends and family to see it more than once. I feel proud! ;D
