A smart move to appeal to the largest demographic in the country.

I finally saw Elvis today. Good movie. Everyone in the theater was 60+. I'd say the trailer that played the best was Bros, that got a lot of laughter. 

I have absolutely no idea how Bros will perform or even who the target audience is, be it straight people who appreciate gay themed humor or gay people wanting representation on screen or some combination of the two. The film could bomb and I would not be surprised or the film could overperform and I would not be surprised either. The film has a clear lane if people are seeking a comedy of the rom com variety if that makes any difference.

This whole all gay cast is just so stupid (i'm saying that as gay man myself). That should be really something appealing outside the verified bloggers on twitter?. The movie has any well know comedy star or actor. I would be very surprised to see it making more than 50M total, or is even too much?.

 

Plus the movie seems really explicit in terms of gags and gay sex. For personal experience i really know even people defining themselves as "open minded" are really non attrachted when the "gay thing" is too explicit. 

They  prefers an Heartstopper with the cute gays to Fire Island or Queer as folk with the real gays  talking about sex and being really gay. So i don't know..

Solid for Thor. Will be a nice battle with Minions. Both should finish the lower end of 300m.

white people going to see Top Gun isn't surprising given that right wing media appropriated the movie to own the libs

 

lol at Batman's audience being almost 70% male

 

 

Those diversity demos are probably the closest to the racial demographics of the US as a whole, compared to every other movie on that list. So instead of 'white people love Top Gun', it's more "everyone loves Top Gun".

Thats why Bros seems refreshing and the creator said he didn’t want to go down the vanilla route. 
 

As another gay man I can’t wait for it and my whole crowd are excited too. There’s literally never been anything like it from a major studio in cinemas.

As a gay man myself who has always quite liked Billy Eichner… I’m split between these two opinions. 
 

I’m fine with the all gay actors, so long as they are good at acting. But, the overtly sexual sevens, the club scenes, etc is just so stereotypical gay and I am worried that this is going to be a story that 10% of the gay community can relate to while everyone else feels left out as usual. 
 

I'm willing to reserve my final thoughts until after seeing the movie in full, but I was a little disappointed in that regard by the trailer.

no one can represent everyone. I mean if it matters I'm queer myself. but I'm not stressing out over this movie.

Can't blame other people who do though. My point is that the movie is what it is. I don't know much about it, but if it's rated R, I guess it's going to be rated R. And if Bridesmaids can be what it is, why not Bros?

Bridesmaids was arguably what it was because the movie had so much heart, which people connected to. The raunch was secondary to the story. I’ll be thrilled if Bros ends up being like that. I just didn’t see a lot in the trailer to indicate that… but again, I’m reserving final judgement until after I’ve seen the whole thing. 
 

My point was mostly to say I see both of your opinions and am kind of in the fence between both.

Did the Bridesmaids trailer indicate any heart in it?

 

Edit:  Just rewatched it and it ended on McCarthy burping and saying she doesn't know which end it came out of...

Go Elvis!!!!! TGM will hit $600m today. Even if it doesn't reach $700m, it's already been a huge success.

[krla]

The bros trailer gave me 90s gay vibes.  Like if you did an R-rated prequel to Will & Grace, focusing on Will's sex life.

Still holding out hope for 700M+ DOM here for TGM. Gonna be close!

[charlie Jatinder]

Minions 2 should hit $350-375M IMO. 

Thor 4 probably $330-350M.

[charlie Jatinder]

I think $700M for TGM ain't happening, unless there is a big re-release or something. Best I can see at the moment is $670M.

 

Expecting $650-670M final.

[MattW]

Yeah, with a weekday level this week in the low 2s I'm also thinking 700 is out for top gun, and that's counting on a labor day expansion where it adds another 15-ish million from there to the end the way jurassic world did.  Last week it looked like a real possibility after the holiday lasted through tuesday and even wednesday came in really strong. 

[Legion Again]

I don’t know what you guys are even talking about. 700 is LOCKED. Purple user said so.
