I sure wish I had a head for dates, and I'm too lazy (tired) to look it up ;D but I think Brokeback opened in Oakland first at the Art House Theatre: The Piedmont, the second week of December. It spread like wildfire shortly after that. I believe every theatre in town featured it, except the Grand Lake. The Grand Lake owner said he would have shown it but the Piedmont was so close in proximity.
I became a Brokie right after Xmas and I've never been the same! 8)

I first saw the movie a few days after Christmas too. My daughter took me to see it...it was her Christmas present to me.
Fancy that the U.S. first showing of Brokeback was in Colorado...wow!! It also showed at the Denver International Film Festival in early November. Ang Lee, Annie Proulx and other stars were there. I didn't go...I was being stubborn.

I, too, went with my daughter. We actually saw it together 10 times after that. We saw it in just about every East Bay theatre; screenings at the Castro in SF were especially nice! :)

About this time I was reading a story in the Kansas City Star about the making of the film; the account centered around the scene with Ennis and Jack's parents. BBM didn't open in the Kansas City region till January of 2006, and I drove all the way out to "Cupcakeland" (suburban KC on the Kansas side) to see it. Just a few weeks later it opened in a suburban theatre closer by, and I saw it a second time and was thoroughly hooked.
Wonderful artwork in this thread!

Happy Birthday Friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was about this time I first saw the trailer on TV, after a couple of months of hearing about it on NPR, and so began the switch from "I'll have to remember the name of this movie so I can rent it later" to "I have to fine this movie and see it". It was as simple as that, by this point in 2005 I knew something big was about to happen.
I had no idea.......
