ON the TOB board, good news
Kd5000:
I'm copying somebody's else's post...
"Per RottenTomatoes.com - Brokeback has taken in 31.3M in video rentals - compare that to 30.2M for Chronicles of Narnia and 37.4M for King Kong... both of which cost almost 15 times as much to make as Brokeback... amazing! The investors in Brokeback must have made a mint off of this movie!"
I wonder how many ppl would have seen this film if it wasn't for the DVD/VCR. I heard the relatively cautious GUESS WHOSE COMING TO DINNER made alot of money because of the curiousity factor, not necessarily because the audience condoned the situation.

It is amazing that people are still discovering the film. I'm happy for it. On imdb, we still see people coming on and asking the same questions we all asked back in December, January, February. there are still people just beginning to grapple with their emotions. It's good to see the effect of the film out last the "hype".

Amen, Starboardlight! For that I'll be sendin' up a prayer of thanks. ... :D

...And I like to think that ultimately, those rentals will surpass Narnia's and King Kong's, because the people I know who've seen either of the latter two are like "eh" about them, but almost all the people I know who've rented "Brokeback" tell other people they know they should see it.

With Narnia and K.K. I did rent. They were able to hold my attn span. That's about all I will say. Some ppl were too sheepish to go see the film at the theater.
