The AfterElton.com Ranking Roundup: "Ugly" is sitting pretty

Welcome to the AfterElton.com Ranking Roundup, a regular feature where we round up the rankings from various sources as to what is, and isn't, hot in gay male entertainment!
Top Rated Gay TV Shows
(from Nielsen, for week ending 11/9)
1. Dancing with the Stars, Monday/Tuesday (17.1, 15.6 million viewers, down 10%)
2. Survivor: Gabon (12 million viewers, down 8%)
3. Brothers & Sisters (10.1 million viewers, up 10%)
4. Ugly Betty (8.9 million viewers, up 3%)
5. As the World Turns (for week ending 10/31, 2.5 million viewers, down 12%)
6. Privileged (1.9, unchanged)
Brothers & Sisters' ratings may be up from last week, but they're down from this point last year probably due to a weaker lead-in from Desperate Housewives, which is also down (B&S's terrible storylines probably aren't helping).
Ugly Betty's ratings were down last year, but now that it's reaching an all-time creative high (and now that Lindsay Lohan is gone!), viewers may knock on wood slowly be creeping back.
More ratings and analysis after the jump!
Top-Grossing Gay Movies of All Time
(US Gross, from BoxOfficeMojo.com)
2. Brokeback Mountain, $83 million
3. Philadelphia, $77.5 million
4. In & Out, $63.8 million
5. Alexander, $34.3 million
6. The Object of My Affection, $29.2 million
7. Rent, $29 million
8. Capote, $28.7 million
9. Victor/Victoria, $28.2 million
10. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, $25 million
Next month's highly anticipated release, Milk, seems guaranteed to make this list somewhere, but will the movie's terrific buzz translate into break-out box office success?
Top 10 Gay Rentals
(from Netflix)
2. Kinsey
3. The History Boys
4. Angels in America
5. A Home at the End of the World
6. Hedwig and the Angry Inch
7. Mysterious Skin
8. Before Night Falls
9. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
10. Philadelphia
The movie adaptation of the Michael Cunningham novel A Home at the End of the World tanked in theaters, but is finding new life on DVD (thanks, in part, to Colin Farrell's brief nude scene, no doubt). And no matter where it sits on the charts, Hedwig rules! See it now.
