Released two weeks ago in france, BM was number two in france ( number one in paris)and still having success ( 150 screens 1st week, about 250 screens on 2nd week): about 500 000 people saw that film ( ps= the box office is not about money made by the film but about the number of viewers) it could reach the million entries.
There 's no big controversy here we're a bit less homophobic and the power of church is much less strong!
hopte u've understood me... :-\

Thanks quentin751 for the update. Please continue sending us information as to how BBM is doing in France.
I am sure that the gay content is less of an issue there...

French peoples are more loose and drink there wine. I hope to see this movie in France one day.

-btb
good question...anyone know? yes i know that cause i'm a french gay guy!!! So 1.000.000 is a very good success in france because there's only 300 screen in our country. Others films have often 500 or 600 screens... there's some towns who never have the pleasure to see that goddess film on theater... i saw it 4 times... and perhaps 5 next week!
-
I've just checked the statistics on allociné.fr
According to that website, Brokeback Mountain has sold over 849 000 tickets as of 14 Feb. in its fourth week.

NOT BAD!!
-
Not bad, but I don't understand their counting method. The website puts BBM in 10th place, but as far as I can see, only 6 other films have more entries than BBM : Les Bronzés 3, Je vous trouve très beau, Munich, Narnia, Lord of War, Kirikou. ::)

Bo...dunno either!
It's still doing great, that's what's important!
-
I've just checked again the statistics according to allociné.fr
BBM is still number 5 into its 5th week in theatres. Close to a million viewers. Ahead of it are 1) Les Bronzés, 2) Narnia, 3) Bambi 2, and 4) Je vous trouve très beau. Number six is Munich. It is showing in the same number of theatres around France, though moving around.

O what a beautiful day ! Looking at the local paper today, I saw that
1) my local cinema is only showing BBM in English with French subtitles, no more dubbed version;
2) BBM was showing in 4 cinemas a month ago, last week it was in 2 cinemas, this week 2 more are showing it - theatres in smaller towns where it wasn't showing previously - so we're back to 4 cinemas in Alsace. Yeah !
p.s. the other news is that in the smaller theatres, there's only one showing a day :-\

Brillient Lilie,
So much for early predictions that this film would not do that well.
My friends have al been to see this on my recommendations (Orders man bloody orders).
They all loved it cos I told them I wouldn't love them anymore if they didn't....didn't we all........."Love me, love my movie"
But honestly isn't it fantastic that with you in France , here is the UK, in the Netherlands etc etc this is doing so well. Maybe Hollywood will sit up , notice, then make more of the type of movies we want to see.
Tom ;D

We can only hope. But I'm optimistic. ;D Obviously, there is a large audience for intelligent, subtle, non-blockbuster movies. With any chance we'll have more and more of them.
I recommended the movie to my friends, too, but I can't say it really worked...

I find blackmail, threats, holding my breath or just dragging them kicking and screaming to the cinema helps.

LMAO! ;D ;D Thank you! I'll try to remember that. ;) ;D

Giving them the book helps.
And nagging them with emails too. ;-)
Or just "I'm treating you to a movie this weekend. Let's go! Popcorn included."
btb
-
Now that last one might work here.....the words "treating you" are like angel song to a Scotsman. ;D ;D ;D
Tom
-
LOL. The book is quite a nice idea. They're not big readers, but it won't hurt to try. I just have to get my hands on the book, first.
And the movie theater I go to doesn't sell Popcorn, so I can't really include it in the treat. :P
We're so OT right now.

I thought I'd let you know that at the moment, on www.allocine.fr (http://www.allocine.fr), BBM is best movie of 2006 according to the votes from the members of the site.
See here: http://www.allocine.fr/evenement/top-des-films/default_gen_annee=2006.html
And also from the votes given by critics.
See here: http://www.allocine.fr/evenement/top-des-films/topPresse_gen_annee=2006.html
It might change with more movies coming, but it's still nice to see. ;D

Iv'e seen this....please please God give me those 2+ hours of my life back.
I'd rather sit in a cinema next to Pee Wee Herman than watch that pile of rubbish again.
How could this dreadful movie be voted ahead of Brokeback Mountain "the Magnificent"

Errrr... I kind of planned on going to watch it soon. So I take it I really shouldn't? :P

Totally Off Topic : I like this movie. I even write an critique on Allocine.
Je tenais juste à dire que ce genre de film manque au cinéma en ce moment. Peu de paroles et pourtant tant de choses sont dites et non dites. Il y des choses bien plus profondes et puissante que ces paroles là, ceux des personnages. Une magnifique musique et images qui nous berce, nous envoie, nous envole, loin au très loin vers ces nouvelles terre encore inconnu, celle de l'amour, de bonheur, du malheur, de la découverte, du passé, du futur, du présent, de la vie. La très jeune actrice qui tiens le rôle principal et qui a tout juste 16ans est tout simplement Belle, d’une vrais beauté a tout point de vu. Farrell & Bale sont juste effrayant de justesse, de profondeur, de regards et de retenu. Malgré cela, la fin, quand a elle est peut être un peu trop rapide, un peu trop expéditive. La nature, cette mère - mer.
But I prefer BBM of course ! ;)
And please again, VOTE !! :)[/color]

Not my cup of tea. But as a movie lover I would never tell someone not to go see a movie or not. You might absolutely adore it.
I've had better experiences at the dentists.
Tom
-
LOL! I see. Well, thanks for the comments. :) You, too, Lost_Girl.
-
Just for the sake of contrast, I found "The New World" langorous. It's a flawed script, ultimately, that does it in, but there are some bright spots worth seeing (and a big screen would help):
1. The understated (imagine that!) performance of Colin Farrell as a man taken over by the New World.
2. The gorgeous face/eyes/hair/beard/etc. of the above mentioned man. ;-)
3. The incredible Q'Orianka Kilcher, as Pocohantas - naive, innocent at one point, tough the next moment, ultimately ruined. Much like the new world itself.
4. The lush cinematography and the power of the natural environment. Brokeback had the same powerful natural world to back up a solid story.
You could turn the film off when Christian Bale arrives, because it falls apart there, for me. If you just sit back and float (like the boats) through this world you've never seen before, it can be quite a fascinating journey; just get off the boat and get to shore before it starts sinking in the last half hour or so.

Apologies for going off topic!

Surely no other film from any director or country has ever done this well ? Brokeback Mountain forever !

Brokeback Mountain forever !
I'm getting this a s a tattoo!
I just love the fact it is doing well everywhere. The doubters must be eating their words as we speak
-
Yeah, I love that, too. The general audience is not given enough credit. People are ready for that kind of movie. We need more of them.
backtobrokeback, thanks for your thoughts on The New World. I'll keep them in mind when/if I go see it.
-
The movie apparantly opens in Germany on 9th March. Do you think we may see a few more members here, from there?

Lilie, Mars, we can do better than that !
After analysing the figures at allociné.fr, where BBM has more than one million entrées since the opening on 16 January, there are only 5 other films that have more entrées (Bronzés 3, Bambi 2, Narnia, Kirikou, Je vous trouve très beau). Therefore, Brokeback Mountain is number 6 in France practically since the new year !!!!!!!!! 8)

Voici another update on BBM in French theatres (source is allociné.fr) :
As of 14 March, BBM has registered approximately 1 167 000 viewers since it arrived 8 weeks ago (16 January).
There are still 252 theatres showing it (it's still in Strasbourg !!!).
Only 4 other films have had more viewers : 1) Les Bronzés 3 ; 2) Je vous trouve très beau ; 3) Bambi 2 ; 4) Fauteuils d'orchestre. Which means BBM is still number 5 in popularity. ;D
Evil post-scriptum : trash isn't even in the top 20.... :-X
Stephan
-
Well it's a good result I think, especially since there was almost no advertising for it (except in Paris) :D
-
Vive la France!
French people has well awarded the oscars... ;)

The only time I heard about it, personnally, was when I watched this special "Movies of 2006" on Canal+. So I would say that it's indeed not a lot. Although, last time I was in Aix-en-Provence, there were new posters on these movie publicity things, saying that it won Golden Globes and was nominated for the Oscars.
What surprises me the most is that the movie theater I go to doesn't show a lot of movies, because it shows only subtitled movies, so they don't have a lot of audience. And Munich started showing there about two weeks ago and isn't there anymore, while Brokeback is still shown, even though it started showing the day it was released. Now, that's what I call a nice local success. ;D
Only 4 other films have had more viewers : 1) Les Bronzés 3 ; 2) Je vous trouve très beau ; 3) Bambi 2 ; 4) Fauteuils d'orchestre. Which means BBM is still number 5 in popularity.
Awesomeness. ;D
Still best movie of 2006 according to viewers on AlloCine:
