If the nums are right that means like 300-500k people bought tickets. I doubt all of them were lgbtq. Plus was he expecting straight men to see a romcom? Most of us don't factually watch ones with men and women as the stars unless a wife or gf drags us.
Also Eichner is not a box office draw, this isn't a popular franchise or ip. It's nor like this was an anticipated blockbuster that was talked about for a year that eveybody was dying to see

Maybe he should have dumped this on netflix.

This obnoxious POS can't accept the fact that he made a lousy movie nobody wants to see, so he's blaming straight people. What a pathetic fool. After spending the last few years crapping on conservatives and heterosexuals, what the hell does he expect? Am I obliged to go see his junk movie even though I have no interest and he's insulted people like me countless times on late night network tv and everywhere else he gets his ugly mug? F him (and Billy, I assure you I mean that only figuratively).
