Actually, "Brokeback Mountain" has already made a profit of more than 100%. The cost of the film was $14 million, and it has already exceeded $32 million at the box office
It's actually just breaking even at this point. For a film to make money it has to more than double the box office.

Say what?!? By your own statement above, "Brokeback Mountain" is already profitable. The film has earned 230% of its cost ($32.3 million/$14 million), and this has occurred while the film is still in limited release and before the huge free publicity of four Golden Globe wins.
