Q. Allan Brocka's
new film, Boy Culture, blasted off at the box

The film, an
adaptation of Matthew Rettenmund's novel, opened on Friday
in three theaters—one in New York, one in Los
Angeles, and one in San Francisco. It netted a total
of $27,835, according to Variety.Boy Culture's per-screen average was
$9,278, one of the highest for any film currently in U.S.
theaters.
Boy Culture was probably helped by favorable
reviews in both The New York Times and the Los
Angeles Times. The film tells the tale of X,
played by Derek Magyar, a hooker who falls in love with his
roommate. On a larger scale, Boy Culture deals
with the complexities of gay male relationships and
monogamy.
The film will
open April 3 in Chicago and April 13 in Dallas, Washington,
D.C., and Palm Springs, Calif. (The Advocate)
