Gay themed movis that did well at the box office.

*movies damn it!

"Victor Victoria" was a successful movi.

Love, Simon was a success.

Did Philadelphia make money?

"Bohemian Rhapsody," that piece of shit, had the gay scrubbed, but....

Biggest BO of all of them.

1997's In N Out" was #1 its opening weekend and did well.

Milk did ok

Ryan Murphy's films do well on Netflix if those count.

$206M on a $26M budget R4, so amazingly successful . I had no idea.

The Birdcage was a huge hit in 1996; it made $185 million worldwide.

It also won the SAG award for the best cast that year but hilariously Calista Flockhart wasn't among the winners (while Christine Baranski, who played a much smaller role, was.)

Oh, dear!

Dog Day Afternoon. Midnight Cowboy.

Priscilla?

Maurice. One of the best.

I thought Dog Day Afternoon was more of a gender movie. And Midnight Cowboy can be explained away as bromance. But those are good answers.

Moonlight

1982's "Making Love" did a cumulative 12MM worldwide, so not a smash hit movi

Partners made 6 million in 1982

What about 1980s "Can't Stop the Music" with Bruce Jenner and the Village People. I've never been more proud to have been a closeted gay man in the good old days.

R15 He was fucking a man. Granted, mental but totally gay.

Dog Day made good box office for its time.

R14 I love Maurice, but i don't think it did that well at the box office. Wiki says it cost $2.6 million to make, and according to Box Office Mojo it's now barely surpassed that.

Is this a joke? Was there really such a film?

If we're including something like Dog Day Afternoon, then I'd also mention The Crying Game. It's budget was said to be £2.3 million, and it didn't quite break even in the UK, but it went on to make over $62 million in the states.

Top Gun was a giant hit.

Spartacus

Brüno

r23 Yes dear ghurl! It twas.

Co-starring Valerie Perrine and directed by Nancy Walker! And with Bruce Jenner in drag as a man!

[italic]Dog Day Afternoon[/italic] is the reason Sidney Lumet should not have been allowed to even touch [italic]The Wiz[/italic].

To Wong Foo did well - it made almost $50m and was #1 for two weeks at the box office.

The Hours made $$$

Spartacus reminds me of Ben Hur.

I miss short shorts on men.

I know a lot of people aren’t move buffs financially, but a lot of these suggestions need to be re-thought.

A movie takes $10M to make (to make easy math). The studio only gets $5M of that. The studio also has to shell out advertising, costs for junkets, etc.

In & Out made $35M on a $65M budget. The movie, at best, broke even.

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) is #1.

I would have thought: "Jumanji."

[italic]Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pete's Dragon[/italic], and [italic]TRON[/italic] did only so-so theatrical box office but sold well on video.

r35 basic rule of thumb is a movie has to make 4 times what it cost to break even, on the books. That is how most actors with points get screwed. The points only kick in after break even. It does not count for endorsement deals, product placement, overseas box office, blu-ray and streaming sales.

For example. if I make a movie for 100 million, it needst to gross 400 million to break even. after that I start paying points out to anyone who has them So say it makes 600 million an you have 1 point in the movie. I pay you 1 percent of 200 million or 2 million dollars.

The guy from Jupiter Hollow isn't a good actor, is he.
