The Lion vs. the Brokeback boys
The Golden Globes are behind us, with Bumboy Mountain taking top honors.
That may provide a boost for a film that ranked only 9th in box office earnings the weekend of January 13-16. The movie earned just over $7 million, bringing its six-week total to $32 million.
In contrast, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe ranked 4th, bringing in just under $13 million. Its six-week total is $264 million.
The top grossing movie for the weekend was the historical, feel good sports film Glory Road ($16.9 million), followed by the children’s movie Hoodwinked ($16.9 million), and the PG-13 comedy Last Holiday ($15.5 million).
Narnia trails only Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in total earnings, the Potter entry earning $284 million in nine weeks. (Bumboy Mountain ranks 20th.)
I guess gay, adulterous cowboys just don’t have as much appeal for the average moviegoer.

Well, the whole mess makes me wonder about some of the great western combos like Butch and the Kid, Tonto and the Lone Ranger(he did like masks), Pancho and Cisco, heck, even Wild Bill and Doc Halliday.
I mean, COWBOYS...
is nothing sacred?
