The 'opening', however, was on Friday, 12/9/05, when the public was invited, at least in NYC, LA and SF. To me, that's when 'Brokies' were born!
IMDb considers the 'release' date to be 12/16/05, when it was released wider. That's when I became a Brokie!

I saw it the first time on 12/26/2005, but was aware of the movie when it won the Golden Lion before Halloween, and I even dressed as a cowboy that year because of the movie....Techincally I guess I was a Brokie then.
12/5 was the NYC premiere, and that's when I REALLY started to hear about Brokeback everywhere....TV, radio, print, everywhere, and that's when people started to anticipate the public release.

That's when it opened in Philadelphia--on three screens, IIRC. That was a Friday, as I saw it first on Sunday, 12/18/05.
I just double-checked the date on my ticket stub. ... ::)

The film was actually first shown in the US at the Telluride film festival, on September 3, right after Venice.

Yup!--except--
They released it at midight the night before! I was there with a friend Thursday night, December 8th--they opened the theater (it was at the Loews on Broadway and 68th) and started the trailers just around 12--and there it was.
And there I was--I went again the very next night, Friday December 9 (at the Loews at 11th and 3rd Ave). And then the next night (you get the idea)--and so on--
:)
