Hollywood: 'Brokeback'—No Bump

Newsweek

March 6, 2006 issue - An Oscar nod for Best Picture often means big box-office increases, but "Brokeback Mountain" hasn't gotten the kind of bump insiders expected. Unlike last year's "Million Dollar Baby," which saw an 88 percent increase between the noms and Oscar night, and "Chicago," which shot up 100 percent, the grosses for "Brokeback" have actually been declining every weekend.

The film could get a boost if it wins Sunday night, but for some Americans, it seems a same-sex love story is still too much, no matter how many trophies it wins.
