Why Did Billy Eichner&#;s &#;Bros&#; Bomb at the Box Office? Vertical People Aren&#;t Entirely to Blame
Billy Eichner&#;s Universal-backed comedy &#;Bros&#; flopped at the box office during its opening weekend with a $ million bow, about half of the $8 million to $10 million that the studio projected. Eichner, in a now viral tweet, claimed that straight people not showing up to an LGBTQ comedy was a driving force behind &#;Bros&#; underperformance.

So, it’s disappointing when a film, like Bros, that features an underrepresented population doesn’t succeed.
Bros&#; dismal opening of just $ million — and a string of eyebrow-raising tweets from writer-star Billy Eichner — has sparked conversations about why the well-reviewed gay rom-com failed, and if audiences should feel obligated to make a trip to theaters to prove they want to notice inclusivity.
Eichner, frustrated by the opening, turned heads when he tweeted Sunday, “straight people, especially in certain parts of the country just didn’t show up for Bros.” He followed that with, “Everyone who ISN’T a homophobic
