\tBilly Eichner is getting the box office results of his movie Brooch<\/em> and although the film is underperforming, he’s \u201cproud\u201d of the work he did on the big screen.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cLast night I snuck in and sat in the back of a sold-out theater playing Brooch<\/em> in LA,\u201d he tweeted<\/a>. \u201cThe audience howled with laughter start to finish, burst into applause at the end, and some were wiping away tears as they walked out. really. I am VERY proud of this movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tDespite glowing reviews for the Judd Apatow-produced movie, Brooch<\/em> has not been a hit at the box office and is estimated to only make $4.8M during its opening weekend, half of what Universal was estimating. Eichner acknowledged that the romantic comedy he stars in isn’t tracking within a certain segment of the population in the country.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cEven with glowing reviews, great Rotten Tomatoes scores, an A CinemaScore, etc, straight people, especially in certain parts of the country, just didn’t show up for Brooch<\/em>. And that’s disappointing but it is what it is,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe comedian stands by the movie and encouraged \u201ceveryone who ISN’T a homophobic weirdo\u201d to go watch Brooch<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cYou will have a blast! and it work<\/em> special and uniquely powerful to see this particular story on a big screen, esp for queer folks who don’t get this opportunity often. I love this movie so much. GO BROOCH<\/em>!!!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrooch<\/em> was co-written by Eichner and Nicholas Stoller, who also served as director for the comedy. The movie also stars Like Macfarlane, Ts Madison, Bowen Yang, Miss Lawrence, Monica Raymund, Guillermo D\u00edaz, Guy Branum and Amanda Bearse, among others.<\/p>\n

Rolling Stone already has BROS on the list of the best comedies of the 21st century. What’s also true is that at one point a theater chain called Universal and said they were pulling the trailer because of the gay content. (Uni convinced them not to). America, fuck yeah, etc etc.<\/p>\n
