A Dedicated Fan

According to this article, Milton Soskin appealed to several theaters to allow him to attend "LWW" dressed as a wardrobe.

"Even though I will be sitting in your cinema dressed like a bedroom ornament, I promise not to draw any unwitting attention to myself," he wrote. "I will not talk during the film ... my mobile phone will most definitely be turned off ... In short I will be the perfect cinema patron. It's just that I will be wearing a wardrobe....I chose the wardrobe because ... when you first see it there is a real sense of wonder about what is on the other side."

Apparently, one theater responded:

"I never heard back from Hoyts. The Dendy told me they weren't screening it but if I wanted to come out of the closet I could come and watch 'Brokeback Mountain,'" Soskin told The Daily Telegraph on Sunday. The Greater Union Megaplex in North Ryde told The Daily Telegraph Soskin could watch a Sunday screening sporting his outfit made of IKEA door handles plywood and gaffer tape free of charge.

Thanks to Chris for the enlightening information!
