Eichner took some grief onle when he discsed the film as the first gay rom-, revisg his statement to the first mastream, major stud theatril rom-. Universal would have had to fend off accatns of homophobia had they nied the film a theatril release.
HOW BROS RECLAIMS THE FUNNY GAY SEX SCENE
"Bros," billed as the first gay rom- om a major Hollywood stud, flopped at the box office bee straight people "jt didn't show up," s * bros gay movie flop *
In an unholy mix of entlement and entertament, the maker of a “historic” (acrdg to The Hollywood Reporter) romantic edy about gay love has ppoted the real problem that ma the movie an expensive box office bomb. “Everyone who ISN’T a homophobic weirdo should go see BROS tonight!
Everyone who ISN’T a homophobic weirdo should go see BROS tonight!
“Bros” is an openly gay romantic edy, see, and stars an openly gay man who wrote an openly gay script.
COMMENTARY: THE REAL LSON OF ‘BROS’: IT’S OK TO LET GAY ART BOMB
And if that isn’t openly gay historic, what is? Not a homophobic weirdo, but I am not terted that movie.. Perhaps llg homophonic weirdos isn’t great marketg.
Maybe all the crics were aaid to give you an hont review bee you might ll them homophobic weirdos. Dpe a mass marketg mpaign, distributn 3, 350 theaters natnwi, and boastg of beg the first gay rom- wh a st pletely prised of openly LGBTQ stars, the film was unable to draw dienc. What’s also te is that at one pot a theater cha lled Universal and said they were pullg the trailer bee of the gay ntent.
However, the actor went on to suate that homophobia uld be the source of reluctance for moviegoers as he touted the “uniquely powerful” film that he noted would ronate most wh “queer folks. However, not unnoticed was the wild succs of prev gay-centered stori marketed to mass dienc like the 1996 h “The Birdge” which opened ls than 2, 000 theaters and ma $124 ln Amerin theaters (nearly $250 ln when adjted for flatn) and the s “Will & Grace” which ran for eight nsecutive seasons before returng for three more after a more than ten-year hiat. While may be filled wh humor that a wi-rangg dience uld appreciate, BlazeTV host Steve Deace may have summed up the reason for the “Bros” lacklter release when he ntend, “What this likely tells is when homosexualy is packaged as wty and charmg–like the trailblazg Will and Grace– n have wi mastream appeal when done well.
‘BROS’ CREATOR BLAM MISSG STRAIGHT DIENC FOR GAY ROM- FLOP
What this likely tells is when homosexualy is packaged as wty and charmg — like the trailblazg Will and Grace — n have wi mastream appeal when done well. Time will tell if the asssment is accurate as the producers are set to release another gay rom-, “Spoiler Alert” December. If you didn’t see the gay rom- Bros theaters durg s openg weekend, you’re not alone.
Most folks didn’ acrdg to actor, producer and screenwrer, Billy Eichner, homophobia is to blame for the lack of support of his film that featur an all-LGBTQ+ st. Eichner, who was clearly upset about the film’s failure, prevly wrote onle that anyone who isn’t “a homophobic weirdo” should go see the movie for the sake of “queer folks who don’t get this opportuny often. ”Don’t look like that pch brandg unterted movie-goers gay-hatg creeps was, distributed by Universal films, was marketed as the first gay romantic edy released by a major Hollywood stud.

Everywhere else, though, was a, is homophobia to blame for s box office crash?
Adults who self-intify as lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr or somethg other than heterosexual has creased to a new high of 7.
Therefore, gay, straight or otherwise, ’s safe to assume that folks jt weren’t terted Bros for var, when qutned about the gay them Bros, Universal print of domtic distributn, Jim Orr, chose to foc stead on how “credibly proud” the stud was of the film and the filmmakers. The new gay rom-, Bros, has bombed at the box office.
IS TROYE SIVAN’S ‘RH’ SEXY FUN OR GAY DETR?
Director Nicholas Stoller and star Billy Eichner, full Nietzschean rsentiment mo, are ltle doubt about why the film flopped: homophobic weirdos refg to go and see . Settg asi the fact that Bros is a gay entry the genre, the qutn of whether romantic edi n be mercially succsful today is one worth askg.
The promiscuo liftyl that the sexual revolutn has promoted, particularly as manifted among gay men, surely ate agast romance.
