"I hope (Miller) doing that will encourage more people to learn more about what it's all about," she said.
"Brokeback Mountain" is scheduled at other theaters in Utah, including the Broadway and Tower theaters, managed by the Salt Lake Film Society.
Tori Baker, executive director of the film society, said "Brokeback Mountain" has had record earnings since it opened at the Broadway and Tower theaters last Thursday. Across the nation, 296 screens are showing the film. Utah ranked 12th last week with per-screen average earnings, said Baker.
The Film Society received rights to premiere the film a week ahead of other Utah theaters.
"That's phenomenal," said Baker. "We hope the earnings continue, and we have this for a long time to come."
