L.A. Johnson sums up local reaction to the Pittsburgh opening of Brokeback Mountain Variety reports that from Friday through Sunday, the Pittsburgh theaters in which the film opened grossed more than $20,000, a high figure for even a Hollywood blockbuster. That confirms my unofficial report from Dustin, the Loews' waiter who took care of our […]
