Did ‘Bros’ Deserve to Flop? Decide for Yourself by Streaming It Now
Less than a month after it was released in theaters, Billy Eichner’s Bros is now available to watch online.
The LGBTQ romantic comedy stars Eichner and Luke Macfarlane as a gay couple navigating the complicated online dating world, with a few obstacles — and people — thrown in along the way.

Despite a number of solid reviews and a big promo push around it, Bros ultimately stalled at the box office, debuting to just $4.8 million in its opening weekend — less than half of the projected $10 million estimate.
Eichner later took to Twitter to express his disappointment, seemingly blaming straight people for not supporting the film. “Straight people, especially in certain parts of the country, just didn’t show up,” he wrote, in a now-deleted tweet. “Everyone who ISN’T a homophobic weirdo should go see BROS tonight!” he continued.
While most films have a 45-day theatrical window before they stream online, Universal Pictures’ decision to make Bros available for streaming after less than a month in theaters hints at the studio’s desire to make the film as widely available as possible.
And while “straight people” may not have rushed to theaters to watch the film, everyone can now watch Bros at home by streaming it online.
How to Watch Bros Online: Rent or Stream Movie
If you want to stream Bros online, the movie is expected to stream on Peacock, which will be home to many of Universal Pictures’ new releases, like the recent Jordan Peele thriller, Nope.
A Peacock Premium account costs just $4.99 a month, though the site is currently running a promo that gets you an entire year of Peacock for just $19.99 total.
Peacock Premium Annual Plan
Keep in mind that most films hit Peacock after the 45-day theatrical window, so considering that Bros premiered in theaters on September 30, we can expect Bros to be available to stream online on Peacock in mid-November.
