The L.A. Film Critics Association named Brokeback Mountain best picture and Ang Lee best director, all of which should help with the marketing.

American Film Instittute named it an official selection of 2005. It received 8 nominations.
The numbers this morning say it made $545,000. in 5 theatres and they are saying that is very good.

Alright! Only 80 more weeks till it ties with 'Must Love Dogs'.
"Did you know that more people are murdered at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easy-going, over 92 and it's too hot to move, but just 92, people get irritable."

Got the NY Film Critics award, Best Picture, with Heath as Best Actor.
A movie about human beings who fall in love and feel some pain and regret? Must admit (not having seen it), this one is sure welcome this year (to me) amid the Batmans, Kongs, Star Warses, Harry Potters and Fantastic Fours.

limited release numbers are pretty deceptive.
Those 5 theaters are probably strictly arthouse theaters that have full showings every week..Wide release won't even be close to that per theater avg.

Even for limited release, a 100K PSA is incredible.
