Personally I find all the ferver of comparing "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" against "Brokeback Mountain" sort of weird, and the assumption that the two movies will have little audience crossover, although that may well be true.
But I grew up reading the Chronicles of Narnia, know them almost word-for-word; a friend of mine at Disney started telling me about some of the preproduction he was seeing over a year ago, and I've been excited about it ever since. I'm also gay and have been looking forward to seeing Brokeback Mountain since I first heard of it. I guess I don't fit their typical demographic charts, eh?
Still, as ridiculously self-evident as it is to "predict" LWW on over 3,000 screens will beat BBR on 5 screens, it's frustrating to know that my $10 to see LWW this weekend will be tallied in the "moral" right-wing's trumped up victory dance next week.
