Billy Eichner tries not to show how disappointed he is with the debut of his movie Bros.
As you know, less than $5 million was collected in the first weekend of the film’s release. That is, it is almost 5 times less dollars per theater than the movie Smile has, which was also released this weekend. And this is quite unexpected, because the audience rated Bros quite highly, putting an A CinemaScore grade. In addition, if you look at the rating of this film on Rotten Tomatoes, we see that it is very high and is as much as 91%!
Billy Eichner admitted that he himself secretly visited the premiere of his film at the cinema. And the reaction of the audience was amazing, because they laughed throughout the entire film, and after the end of the premiere, there was applause in the hall. The only problem he considers is the fact that only queer people came to the film, and there were practically no heterosexuals. It is precisely because of the homophobicity present in society that the first box office receipts of the film turned out to be so low. Well, perhaps in the near future the situation will change?
Last night I snuck in and sat in the back of a sold out theater playing BROS in LA. The audience howled with laughter start to finish, burst into applause at the end, and some were wiping away tears as they walked out. It was truly magical. Really. I am VERY proud of this movie.
