Gay romcom fails at the box office.

Straight guys ain't gonna watch this. Neither will most straight women. Gay women ain't gonna watch it either.

Who the heck thought this would make any money???

Did Resident Brandon enjoy the movie? You get that guy on your side, and he’ll fill 81 million seats for just 10% of the gross. Go talk to that guy!

This is a "Message Movie" and, by the utopia that pervades Hollywierd, it is the 'hoi polloi' (us) that MUST spend our time & money on this product.

I am of the age to remember when the public plea of this gay advocacy was to;
1) Ignore what we do in our bedroom, it does not hurt you.
2) Let us associate with our own, you don't have to participate.
3) Laws against our actions are the same as segregation laws, an offense against our civil rights.
...
?) We must rescue the children from prejudice, thus we must teach our belief in the schools!

Thus this 'director' wishes to carry this diatribe yet another step further, we, the 'huddled masses' must be guilted into rewarding the GBLT and cohorts by watching these efforts. They are rewarded and we, the submissive, are 'educated' in their craft!

Thanks but NO THANKS!

--- " 'It's almost like people don't know what's good for them'"

Backing away from the details of this lunatic response to people who don't want to purchase a product (entertainment), there is a larger structure here being shown/

The perverted Left has been messaging "do something" and if you don't, ad hominem attack will come in a flood. One sees this in the UK as police ignore real crime in favor of "terrorizing" someone for supposed hate speech. One sees this in the demand to participate in Maoist-style struggle sessions on the topic of anti-racism, and if you don't, racism is not only alleged but supposedly proven. Disagree with the transsexual medical sterilization of people over "feelings," and you are a transphobe. In all and more such cases, the game is one of a Sodom-style "do what we say" and our best response is to repeat millions of times "people walk away." Do not look back. Just walk away. Walk away from most of Hollywood, most of social media, all of the Democrats and RINOs, from the globalists and the groomers and Democrat-led inner city crime. Walk away. When enough walk away, the end of a boycott will have been achieved.

The problem is that the people who made this are deviant. They have distorted minds. Thus they cannot see that the natural male/female template, replete with the differences and tension between the sexes, cannot possibly fit over a male/male form, which is grotesque. They don’t see the grotesque because deviance is all about certain sex and nothing more.

Minimum production + marketing cost = $52 million

Minimum break even box office = $104 million (average split for theaters and production company is about 50%-50%)

Total ten day USA/Canada box office = $8.9 million

Currently showing in ZERO foreign theaters.

He might want to step outside his Hollywood bubble, though, to understand why so many Americans, both straight and gay, didn’t line up to see “Bros.”

Maybe the gays did go to see it, but instead of "lining up," they used the backdoor?

Major productions are created primarily to promote an agenda. The public sees “entertainment.” The producers are thinking “this’ll convince ‘em!”

Plays, films, TV series are created for a purpose. The story line is there to induce you to willingly suspend your disbelief and to put aside any critical thinking. While you are watching the plot unfold, they are slipping thoughts into your subconscious.

Sometimes they hit you over the head too hard with the propaganda, and the public resists and stays away.

May they go bankrupt producing things few want to see.

Yes its clearly the audience’s fault. It couldn’t possibly be your fault. Why, no! Perish the thought! That’s unpossible!

I’m sure this fine bit of art will get the appreciation it deserves when its shown in other countries rather than one that is so bigoted and homophobic as America. Can’t wait to se how this does in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and China! No doubt it will be a smash hit in all those places.

A rom com between “Bros”? Is this movie implying incest is best?

"It’s almost like people don’t know what’s good for them.

Now there's a phrase that sums up perfectly what leftists really think about the rest of us. No room for differing opinions. If you don't agree with them, there's something wrong with you.

I wouldn't watch this movie in a million years. That being said, I do remember hearing a lot about Brokeback Mountain (which I never saw either), so I looked it up and saw that it made nearly $180M. I really wish someone would ask this director if the public as a whole was really so anti-gay, how did Brokeback make that much money?

Maybe his movie just sucks.

’It's almost like people don’t know what’s good for them'

Actually, it is precisely BECAUSE we know what’s good for us. And we know that four men buggering each other isn’t.

Stop using common sense to explain this fiasco.

If I wanna see faggots in action I can go down to the bath house in a nearby city and watch them go in...anticipating fun...and coming out having been infected with a dozen rare,and incurable,diseases.

“It is very strange just because the movie is so much fun. And as someone who makes comedies for movie theaters — or did until, I guess, this weekend — I love seeing comedies in movie theaters, and people do. It’s almost like people don’t know what’s good for them.“

People do know what’s good for them. That’s why they don’t want to pay to watch cavorting faggots in a movie.

DUH! Low box office numbers means people are not buying tickets.
A theater is not a proctology office. I do not need my bowels examined. Especially since I am perfectly happy with my bowels just the way they are. Thank you very much but no thanks.

If there are as many gays as they always claim there are, how come they didn’t flock to the theaters to watch it? My guess is that there really aren’t anywhere near the number as they claim, maybe only a 10th of what they claim.
