Friday box office take:
THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE: $23,900,000.00
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN: $191.543.00
No doubt there will be more gay cowboy movies made in imitation of Brokeback than there will be Christian fantasy epics too. Although Walden Media shows real signs of becoming a powerhouse; I note that they picked up the movie rights to Susan Cooper’s excellent THE DARK IS RISING. If you haven’t read it before, do, especially at this time of year. Don’t worry about OVER SEA, UNDER STONE, read that later.
