Brokeback Mtn No 5 this weekend--
Capitalizing on increased exposure from the Golden Globe awards, Brokeback Mountain galloped into 1,196 venues, up 513 from last weekend, and saw business grow 35 percent to an estimated $7.8 million. The cowboy love story was No. 1 from Tuesday to Thursday, and it had its highest weekend rank yet at No. 5. With $42.1 million in the till, key Oscar nominations and further expansions could propel the picture past $100 million.
