    Go figure, an R rated gay rom com movie with lots of gay sex is a big money loser. I guess Mello and his coronabros didn't go see it enough. Apparently, mello and the slobberer can't carry a Hollywood movie. Of course, its straight white men who are to blame for not liking gay sex.

    WHY DOES HOLLYWOOD KEEP INSULTING THEIR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS? Leftist Billy Eichner lashes out at straight people after his LGBTQ movie Bros flops, blames homophobia for abysmal box office opening.

    Despite massive promotion from legacy media and overwhelmingly glowing reviews from critics, “Bros” flopped. Eichner’s LGBTQ movie debuted to an abysmal $4.8 million at the box office despite playing in 3,350 theaters nationwide.

    The Hollywood Reporter said the movie had done “little business in much of middle America and the south.”

    Previously, Eichner has openly and vitriolically voiced his utter disdain for Christians, Republicans, and former President Donald Trump on Twitter.

    Eichner’s movie that he wrote and starred in had a production budget of $22 million [with a huge estimated $40 million promo budget].

    After the dismal box office numbers for “Bros” was released on Sunday night, Eichner lashed out at straight people and insinuated that anyone who didn’t want to see his LGBTQ movie was “homophobic.”

    “Even with glowing reviews, great Rotten Tomatoes scores, an A CinemaScore etc, straight people, especially in certain parts of the country, just didn’t show up for Bros,” Eichner wrote on Twitter. “And that’s disappointing but it is what it is.”

    The trailer for Bros ran before Moonage Daydream, when I saw it in the theater in mid-September in Fort Worth, and it looked absolutely dreadful. As John Nolte writes, compare Bros to the 1996 hit comedy The Birdcage, which had an all-star cast, a legendary director (Mike Nichols) and a known story (La Cage aux Folles had played on the American stage for years): Woke Bros Delivers Another Weekend Box Office Bust.

    The woketards at TheWrap assured us Bros, an R-rated, homosexual romantic comedy released in 3,350 theaters, would — and I quote — “Kick Off Box Office Revival.”

    Why would anyone think that?

    I’ll confess I didn’t expect Bros to die-die-die with a, lol, $4.8 million opening, but…

    How bubbled do you have to be to predict a gay movie filled with gay sex and gay talking points disguised as dialogue would succeed at the box office?

    The American people have no problem with gay-themed comedies. Twenty-seven years ago, The Birdcage (1996) was a huge hit that drew $124 million domestic. In today’s dollars, that’s almost a quarter of a billion — with “B” — dollars domestic.

    Can you imagine any comedy making $250 million domestic these days? Comedies suck today.

    So why did the public flock to The Birdcage and avoid Bros like the plague?

    Because The Birdcage offered actual stars — Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane, Hank Azaria, and Dianne Wiest … It didn’t offer gay sex, which makes 98 percent of the public uncomfortable. (Raise your hand if you go to the movies to feel uncomfortable!) … And it wasn’t marketed as a comedy-slash-lecture, which Bros was.

    Gay sex makes heterosexuals uncomfortable. And that’s not bigotry. In the immortal words of Lady Gaga, we were born this way.

    As I have said over and over, Hollywood should make movies for everyone, and that includes homosexuals. But it is pure madness to position a gay romantic comedy loaded with gay sex (including a foursome) like you would something starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant.

    Straight men are not saying to the wife "hey honey let's go see this Bros movie." I've seen the trailer, it looked like it was trying way to hard to make the normal day to day lives of gay men one big laugh fest. Hard pass.
    And then we all contracted Monkey Pox... the end.

    Fuck around and find out in America, leftists.

    It won’t be head coverings going off.

    Poor Marc. Clearly lost whatever influence he had in the black community.

    Maybe being a CNN shilling cunt isn't the best career choice.

    I would probably sell out too for the right price push come to shove. I don’t blame the people that made money for being shills. It’s the ones that have nothing to gain but pure social admiration that are more confusing and pathetic.

    Ftr this is about the 3rd time in 100 years Russia has invaded Ukraine and committed crimes against humanity.

    You can be against American interventionism and still not make justifications for Russian atrocities. They aren't mutually exclusive.

    Russia has been committing atrocities against its own people on a mass scale for thousands of years. It’s just how they do business in that part of the world.

    Don't disagree. Simply don't agree with painting a good vs. bad narrative in the Ukraine/Russia clusterfuck.

    I ain't got no quarrel with the Viet Cong.
