No money in LGBQT+ films?

quote:
In grim but not surprising news, Universal’s Bros became the latest live-action theatrical comedy to play in primarily empty theaters. The Billy Eichner/Luke Macfarlane-starring romantic comedy earned just $4.8 million over the weekend. That includes $1.84 million on Friday, which includes $500,000 in Thursday previews. That’s a lower debut than Jo Koy’s Easter Sunday, which grossed $5.44 million in early August. The $22 million release, written by Eichner and Nicolas Stoller and directed by Stoller, is technically the first mainstream, wide theatrical release rom-com starring a same-sex couple. Alas, the trailers and much of the media coverage emphasized its importance, groundbreaking existence, and social value over whether the film is funny.


The director, Eichner, is a hard-left activist and can't understand why a film made about a minority subject doesn't attract a majority audience.

Fuck him.

I had a conversation with my 15 year old daughter about disney films. She didn't see what the big deal was about disney having gay, pedophiles, and trans people in their movies. I told her that these people make up 2% of the population but are in 100% of new disney movies. I saw the gears turning in her head and then she realized that yeah, they are doing it on purpose. Keep red pilling everyone you can.
Now if I could only get her to the firing range.

I saw a whole thread on Reddit where gay people were tearing it up saying it was super cringe and pandering.

Anyone one who won't go see it though, is branded a radical homophobe and probably racist, too, in the eyes of the woke.

Same thing Mrs. Flash and I did with this one, as we did with the female "Ghostbusters".

I don't give one rats ass what the woke think.

At work, I am forced to play the corporate woke game. On my time and with my money, they can all burn in hell.

So basically citizens/consumers MUST go give away their hard earned money for content they have zero interest in? SMH.

You want to be gay, bi-sexual, whatever, have at it. Doesn’t mean I want to watch content related to that. Hell I’m not going to the movie theater to see a Disney film either.

Hey Eichner (never heard of him), if someone made a comedy film about the antics at an outdoor gun range in Texas (think Caddyshack with guns), and that person was urging all commies and homosexuals to see it, I'm sure your sorry ass would scream bloody murder and organize a campaign for its removal.

Do these maroons actually think straight couples will see this? Guys only go to romantic comedies to appease the women and to get laid. Women go to see the fantasy world of a prince saving them from their mundane existence. Nobody goes to see a gay couple.

If they really wanted to pretend men are interested in a gay rom com they’d have had it be 2 hot women with lots of sex scenes.




These go to eleven.

Well, dipshit, you want to make it work, go with 2 women. Hot chicks...
Only a small niche wants to see 2 dudes.
But 2 hot chicks, that's your money maker!
