Brokeback Mountain

Posted in xn--kfs74mzzid01b.com edit by wktd on January 7th, 2009

  • In which cities is Brokeback Mountain currently being shown? Also, I'd like a breakdown of the number of theaters per city and average revenue per theater. For example, I've seen an article which said Columbus Ohio had 11,000 revenue per screen over the last weekend. Can you help me with this?


  • Bobbie did a very good job but another researcher or reader helped out especially with the last question of mine regarding revenues.


  • Johnster, I was not able to locate in which cities Brokeback Mountain is currently being shown, or the number of theaters per city; however I did find some numbers. Please take a look at the information below and let me know if it is of any use to you. Thanks, Bobbie7 Currently Brokeback Mountain is being shown in 483 theaters in the United States and will go into wide release with 700 theaters on January 13, 2006. "Brokeback Mountain saw limited release in the United States on December 9, 2005 (in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco), taking $547,425 in just five theaters in its first weekend. According to several sources, including TV Guide and indiewire , this was the highest per-showing average for any drama in film history. Over the Christmas weekend it posted the highest per theater gross of any movie and was lauded as a box office success not only in urban centers such as New York City and Los Angeles, but in suburban theaters near Portland, Dallas, Denver, and Atlanta. On January 7, 2006, the movie opened to its widest screening yet, moving from 269 theaters since January 1 to 483. In doing so it took in its largest one-day gross to date at $ 1.7 million in the U.S. However, the film's total box office receipts are relatively low due to the limited number of theaters it is showing on. As of January 8, 2006 "Brokeback Mountain" has earned a total of $22.4 million in the United States and Canada Focus Features, the movie's distributor, is planning to release the film to several hundred or more screens in North America by the end of January 2006. According to boxofficemojo.com Brokeback Mountain will go into wide release with 700 theaters on January 13, 2006." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brokeback_Mountain


  • Johnster, I posted additional revenue information in the clarification box. Bobbie7


  • Bobbie and johnster. . . Johnster, you asked where the box office numbers come that you've been reading. The key film industry box office tracking company is EXHIBITOR RELATIONS. The studios report their weekend guestimates on Sunday and late afternoon they issue a report -- and that's what you read in papers the next day or hear on your 10 or 11 pm news on Sunday night. You have to subscribe to Exhibitor Relations to get all the data. . . but here's a Dec. 7th newspaper article that quotes the President, Paul Dergaribedian, who the media looks to for an overview every week:b "In December, Focus Features released ``Brokeback Mountain'' to the highest domestic per-screen average ever recorded: $109,485 in five theaters. That's impressive, but less so given those five theaters were in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, markets you might expect to pony up to a movie about gay cowboys. ``Brokeback'' has played in more theaters and smaller markets every week since its release. Last weekend it reached 269 screens, up 52 from the previous week, with a 61 percent jump in attendance from the previous week. According to Variety, last weekend's per-screen averages were $37,000 in Nashville; $44,000 in Columbus, Ohio; and $32,000 in Milwaukee -- towns with more of a middle-America makeup than the big coastal cities where the film made its debut. New Year's weekend, the movie pulled in $4.8 million for a four-day per-screen average of $18,000 and a 25-day total of $15 million. ``Brokeback'' was slated to add 120 screens on Friday. Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box office tracking company Exhibitor Relations, says ``Brokeback'' appears to be built for the long haul. ``For it to sustain an $18,000 average in that many theaters says that it's doing well across the board,'' says Dergarabedian. Compare the 269 screens for ``Brokeback'' to the 3,583 for ``Narnia'' and you get some idea of the apples-and-oranges nature of the box office race. Where you can't cast a stone without hitting a theater that shows ``Narnia'' and ``Kong'' (at 3,627 screens and counting), ``Brokeback'' is treading slowly into red-state America. But as Dergarabedian suggests, the early returns have been positive."


  • My good friend and fellow worker pinkfreud-ga has pointed out this material. (Thanks Pink) Regarding the per-theater box office take of "Brokeback Mountain," the most recent issue of Entertainment Weekly (January 13, 2006) gives a per-site average of $18,020. This was for the holiday weekend of December 30 - January 2, when the movie was showing on 269 screens. Entertainment Weekly gets its data from Nielsen EDI. Excerpt from the Las Vegas Sun: "Brokeback Mountain," Focus, $4,847,443, 269 locations, $18,020 average, $15,102,697, four weeks." http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/look/2006/jan/03/010302714.html


  • Hi Bobbi, Sorry for getting back to you so late. One more question. As far as revenues, you couldn't find anything regarding Brokeback's average per city or per theater. On two different occasions, I read articles either in the Dallas Morning News or USA Today that had figures for a few select cities such as Columbus, Nashville, and Milwaukee. I just wonder where they got those numbers. Please get back to me when you can and we'll wrap this up. Johnster


  • There are 2 locations for Jackson Wyoming. http://movies.yahoo.com/showtimes/movie?date=20060110&mid=1808403312&z=Jackson%2C+WI (Thanks Cryptica)


  • Dear Johnster, Revenue figures appear to be scarce; however I'll try to find more revenue figures. Sincerely, Bobbie7


  • Johnster, Additional figures and statistics for this film can be found at the following links: Summary http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=brokebackmountain.htm Daily breakdown http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=brokebackmountain.htm Weekend Breakdown http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=brokebackmountain.htm Do any of my findings serve your purpose?

  • I may have been scanning Bobbi's list too quickly and the listing's there, but I don't I don't see JACKSON, WYOMING aka JACKSON HOLE, where "Brokeback" is playing. I know 'cause a friend of the family owns the theater. In fact, as of last week anyway, that theater was the only theater in the entire state of Wyoming showing the film and the New York Times interviewed the owner. "Brokeback Mountain" takes place in Wyoming. . . but they actually shot the movie in Canada (Calgary).


  • Sorry that should be one location for Jackson Wyoming Jackson Hole Twin Cinema 295 West Pearl Street, Jackson, WY, 83001 http://movies.yahoo.com/showtimes/movie?date=20060110&mid=1808403312&z=Jackson%2C+WY There are 2 locations for Jackson WI. http://movies.yahoo.com/showtimes/movie?date=20060110&mid=1808403312&z=Jackson%2C+WI


  • "..its opening weekend, Brokeback netted over $108,000 per screen at venues like the West Hollywood-adjacent Grove, when the movie branched out into the more sexually ambiguous confines of the Arclight (okay, not so ambiguous) and Sherman Oaks? Galleria, the per-theater revenues dropped to $34,194." (...) "As expected, best perfs came in more liberal cities, including Toronto, New York and L.A., where the film?s best per play takes reached over $70,000. However, ?Brokeback??s best per play takes in other cities included an estimated $56,000 at a theater in Atlanta, $50,000 in Phoenix, $49,000 in Houston, $35,000 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and $33,000 in St. Louis. In some of those cities, it was playing on only one screen. Pic had lower, but still solid takes in suburban markets in Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California." http://boifromtroy.com/?p=4985


  • Dear Johnster, Belwo you will find additional revenue figures. Nashville: $37,000 "Interesting tidbit from Tom Wood at NashvillePost.com: Daily Variety reported that Brokeback Mountain raked in $37,000 at one Nashville theater alone in its first expansion weekend?a figure more than double the national average. Last weekend at Green Hills, Wood writes, long lines formed well before the shows; others say multiple screenings sold out in advance." http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:-2dDPdqR9u4J:www.nashvillescene.com/blog/pitw/archives/00000730.shtml+Nashville+Brokeback+Mountain+revenues&hl=en Full article ($2.50) http://www.nashvillepost.com/pub/news/topnews/8985-1.html ========================================================== From USA Today: "Brokeback Mountain is averaging $10,000-plus per screen in such markets as San Antonio, Nashville and Columbus, Ohio, according to Nielsen EDI. The Ang Lee film was ninth at the box office this weekend with $5.8 million on 483 screens, a healthy $11,904 per-screen average. That's a higher average than the No. 1 movie of the week, Hostel." http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2006-01-09-brokeback-sidebar_x.htm I hope this helps! Bobbie7

  • Per-screen average of $34,194 "The critically acclaimed drama "Brokeback Mountain," starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, rode into the top 10 in its second weekend after distributor Focus Features expanded it to 69 theaters in 21 markets from just a handful the previous weekend. The love story between two cowboys finished in eighth place after taking in an estimated $2.4 million. It had an outstanding per-screen average of $34,194, by far the highest of any film in release." http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:dBCdMXi-hVgJ:www.dailynews.com/news/ci_3322153+site:www.dailynews.com+%22brokeback+mountain%22+revenues+per+theater+OR+screening&hl=en "Brokeback Mountain continued to surprise analysts over the weekend as the so-called gay cowboy love story emerged once again as the highest earner on a per-theater basis among films showing on more than 50 screens. Brokeback earned $13,599 per theater, far surpassing the $9,305 for King Kong and $8,225 for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Brokeback is currently showing in only 217 theaters, roughly 7 percent the number that are showing the two box-office leaders. December 29, 2005 http://www.gregunderwater.com/
