Beat by The Dukes of Hazzard? That's gotta hurt!

Although... Jessica Simpson in short shorts or gay shepherds kissing? Not much of a decision after all... even for a straight woman.

The Chronicals of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe made about four times as much as Brokeback Mountain.

So, nine million people saw this film. Big deal.

I've seen most of the movies in the top ten but virtually none in the bottom twenty with the exception of "The Interpreter" with Nicole Kidman. Terrific movie. The camera really loves her.

33rd highest grossing movie among those which came out in the USA in 200

uh, do you mean this list is of movies liked by those 'that came out' (of the closet?) or is of movies that 'came out' (released) ... big difference!!! ;-)

Well, that's refreshing:  a movie about peacocks can't beat a movie about penguins.

People would rather see heterosexual penguins than homosexual humans.

Hmm. So BBM was the 33rd highest grossing movie of 1995. Since there were only 33 movies listed, BBM was the bottom(pun not intenional but appropriate) of the heap.

When you're movie is 8 places BELOW the Dukes of Hazzard I think it's safe to say it's a flop.
