Actor Billy Eichner has spent years smearing conservatives and Republicans, attacking Christianity, and lashing out at just about anybody who disagrees with him politically. The star of Disney’s The Lion King just watched his $22 million LGBTQ romantic comedy make an abysmal $4 million in its Box Office debut over the weekend. In response to the film’s poor performance, an angry Eichner appears to blame (at least) two things: homophobia and “straight people in a certain parts of the country.”
The film, trumpeted as Hollywood’s first major gay romcom, initially received enthusiastic acclaim from critics but has been largely ignored by cinema goers.

Yawn
Gays are so yesterday.
Why aren’t the theaters packed with Gay People?
> gay romcom
Even a straight romcom is too gay. I’m definitely not watching a gay one.
Oversell shares to gay investors who don't want to come out of the closet, then make a bomb of a movie to cover up that he raised far more from investors than he'll ever be able to pay back.
From the numbers I saw for box office, it’s possible that every homosexual in America who actually goes into a theater to see a movie went to see the movie over the weekend. Sounds like a narrowcast production that should have gone directly to home video and waited for the audience to build. Sounds like the actor had different expectations.
His ‘woke’ audience didn’t show. And now he’s back to the comedy ‘condo’ circuit. Schadenfreude.
Did he REALLY think moviegoers across the country - especially “flyover country” - and their kids and grandkids were going to line up to see this?
What a profound misreading of the movie going population.
I don’t want to see a straight romantic comedy...
Maybe we were too busy having (normal) sexual relations with each other? /sarc
👍
Gay is so 2000s. Trans is where it’s at!
He must be a transphobe.
His hubris is so self-unaware, he doesn’t seem to grasp the most obvious thing about the dynamic between straights and the lgbtxyz types. Straights just don’t care about them. Straights don’t want to know about them, support them, or help them prop themselves up on the pedestal they think they belong on.
They are not special. They are in fact an aberration in nature but “they is what they is” so most straights have adopted the “don’t ask don’t tell” doctrine that worked so well for decades.
The new short version is “you do you and I’ll do me”.
Huh. Maybe gays really do make up less than three percent of the population, and not the thirty forty fifty percent we’re constantly hammered with.
Well, Billy, whatever happened to “the customer is always right” ? We don’t want the garbage you are selling.
> Will we be forced to buy tickets to gay movies now? <
See, this is all Biden’s fault. Because of inflation, some people can’t afford to go to the movies anymore. Biden should have bought up all available movie tickets, then mailed one to every American.
Anyone who doesn’t attend gets raided by the FBI or audited by the IRS.
As Yogi Berra would say: If people don’t want to go you can’t stop them.
The free market spoke, and Billie can pound sand.
