Have we as a society just permanently moved on from romcoms?
>>
>>216046038
the target demographic is miniscule. even gay people prefer to watch basic white girl movies instead of full-on gay shit.

>movie about fags loving other fags while hanging around even gayer fags

Hmmmm….I wonder why.
>>
>>216046038
Most of the world isn't gay, most of the world doesn't care about gays, and I'm assuming that most of the world doesn't even like gays all that much.

This movie does nothing but pander to not just gays, but the antagonistic type of gays, that actively hold antipathy towards straight people.

Why are you asking why this movie flopped? Are you... retarded?

Homosexuality is a mental illness. No one wants to watch 90 mins of mentally ill freakazoids sucking each other’s dick.
>>
>>216046300
Yet somebody spents months making, editing and paying for it
>>
Gay faggots like to watch American Horror Story and RuPaul's Drag Race, not whatever this is.
>>
Gay shit like this is made by committee and it comes off as patronizing. It always has to have some crossover appeal to straights and ends up feeling like Will And Grace, outdated faggy garbage. No one likes it.
>>
>>216046038
No female lead. Thats it. If there had been a prominent female lead played by a popular actress, even if its just the sassy best friend character to the main gay guy, then more women would have seen it. Women are the ones who watch rom coms and they want to be seeing themselves in the movie.
>>
>>216046038
It's a Judd Apatow type comedy (even visually looks similarly bland to Judd Apatow films) made when everyone got sick of Judd Apatow and realized that these type of comedies were kind ass from the getgo.
It's also about homosexuality, and that's is particularly bad for this kind of movie. Normalfags who like bland comedies would not like a gay romcom, and homosexuals don't like this kind of bland shit, they watch camp like Ryan Murphy or artsy stuff (see the box office for Call me By Your Name or Moonlight). The fact that this is not even relatable to most faggots adds further insult to injury. This is about two suburbanite upper middle class dudebro (literally the movie is named Bros) Gen X fags. That's a tiny part of an already minority populace. What the fuck was anyone thinking with this is a mystery.
>>
Who exactly was the target audience for this movie?
>Women?
Women watch romcoms to fantasize about being swept off their feet. They don't want to watch gay men.
>Homosexual men
Maybe but there really aren't that many of them. Homosexual men don't even like romcoms

It also didn't help that the director went on a Twitter spergout and told people they were homophobic if they didn't watch his movie. He was literally the Dr Phil "Fuck you, give me $10" meme
>>
>>216046038
Id guess many the majority of the cinema going population cannot self insert to a story about falling in love with a fellow gay man.

that is not to say people cannot be empathetic to gay culture, since Philadelphia is a well loved movie
>>
>>216046038
This is the kind of movie that would normally be made for less than a million dollars and go straight to TV on The Gay Channel. A $30 million budget and who knows how much more for marketing peddling it at the mainstream was a very expensive experiment and very quickly showed Universal why it was a bad idea.

Birdcage is how youre supposed to make a comedy about gays. You need to "normal" character son who is the doorway to the crazy world.
Same for the gay couple in Modern Family

As a gay man, where do I begin?

(Disclaimer: I only saw the film because early in the year, E! Network started airing it at 5AM in the morning and my night shift job completely fucked my sleep schedule so I now only get to bed around 7-8AM these days)

>>It was written by a city loving gay about city loving gays who basically make their living via gay grievance industry and base their entire lives around their faggotry. This alienates actual normal gays, especially those who DON'T worship city life and more to the point, don't live the gay bubble and who don't parasitically make their living off of gay grievance industry.

>>Billy's love interest wasn't hot and boring as shit.

>>Of all of the stunt casting bits, the only ones that might have worked was Amanda Bearse and Stanley Tucci and both were wasted.

>>The plot was boring.

>>Eichler was decent in it, but he fucking made the film radioactive with his ranting and hate mongering in the lead up and aftermath of it flopping and it turned people off.

>>But the biggest thing, is that Eichler was n-word faggot retarded thinking he could making this film a box office hit. Like it or not, gay films turn a profit purely off of word of mouth, slow roll out to theaters, and most of all home video sales. But he wanted a huge box office hit rather than taking the long game and letting the film build up a cult following.

They spent 100 million on it which means they're looking for somewhere around a 300 million gross. That's a lot for any comedy but unheard of for a gay one. It's like eichner got pissed it didn't turn into some cultural movement like rocky horror picture show. Should have stuck with a 25 million budget and been creative
>>
>>216047361
>Women
There's fujos, but they seem to prefer fantasising about characters they already like becoming fags rather than being served fags directly.
>>
>>216050188
It was "only" 22 million, but that's still a lot for a movie that's basically just faggots fucking around. No big names or any special effects.
>>
>>216050188
>>216050265
you always have to spend $20+ million on marketing. even an actual masterpiece like Anora had to spend $18m, 3x the actual budget, and that was only enough for a total box office of 58m because most people won't go to the cinema to watch drama or comedy any more.

it's barely romance, the movie has them going from orgies to gangbangs and ending the movie with a art gallery of all the "Heroes that died from AIDs"

there is no romance in this film, it's not romantic

Barely a gay movie, so weird in its overt sexually it just comes off as autistic and insane. Go to any showing of it at an arthouse theater and everyone in attendance will be some fat autistic person whose genders are literally indiacernable due to shitty haircuts and uniformly fat bodies in dumb clothes. Its for people too nerdy to have sex

Eichner has a vaguely rude frat boy look and street comic persona. He thought this is a crossover for a subset of gays. But he lacks charms to sit for 2hr+. His comic bits were like 2 min long

I never got the attraction to romcoms. The romance is surface level and the comedy is cheap. Its underserves both genres and belongs along the back wall of an abandoned blockbuster.

Cheating? The only ones who like that shit are men, both straight and gay. Besides, it's not like the stories created by gay men are completely wholesome.
