Discuss: Having Gay Pride Doesn't Help the Box Office

Filed under: Gay & Lesbian », Distribution », Exhibition »



As proclaimed by then-president Clinton, June is Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. Pride festivities and parades are gearing up across the world with a flurry of color and rainbows, but lately, it's been about more than just extravagant celebration.

C.R.A.Z.Y., the debut feature from director Jean-Marc Vallee, dominated last night's Canadian film awards (known as the Genies), picking up trophies in 10 of the 12 categories in which it was nominated.

The movie is about a family with five sons (the title is composed of their first initials) living in 1970s Montreal, and focuses primarily on Zach, whose sexual confusion is just one of the things that sets him apart from his "testosterone-fueled siblings."
