How will it do?
A new movie about gay cowboys is coming to a theater new you soon, the question is how long will it last;
I am guessing that this one will meet the same fate, I am not sure this kind of subject matter plays to the masses very well. The coasts will love it, as do the film festivals. But I think it will be in and out of the Top 10 in a matter of 2-3 weeks. Pure speculation on my part, I could be totally wrong.
No one knows that answer, because no one has ventured into this territory before. The movie is a groundbreaker. There's never been a homosexual cowboy movie, and while the indies have been supplying gay romances to the art house circuit for years, and gay series like "Queer as Folk" and "Will & Grace" have been pulling big numbers on TV, there hasn't been a mainstream gay love story since 1982's "Making Love," which bombed and was blamed by many for damaging Harry Hamlin's career.
