If his movie was really doing those sorts of numbers, then why did those theaters drop it? Contrary to popular belief, theaters actually like to make money.

Just not Tucker Max films. Because we have some taste. Unlike Iowa (sorry Iowans). Also, if we wanted to watch someone fail miserably on a large screen we'd watch the jumbo-tron at Wrigley Field or read up on our many illustrious governors.

He's a smart guy, and dedicated, but this sounds pretty fucking delusional. He gambled. He lost. That's what happens when you go for long shots. It seems like cognitive dissonance to at once avow how "groundbreaking and risky" your strategy is than act surprised when it fails. He's like a Vegas neophyte that put his whole roll on a single roulette spin then starts blaming the guy who spun the wheel when he loses.
