There are allegedly rumours she was an escort when she was younger, I wonder if that’s covered?

Only empty in Scotland. I’mbsurprused anyone would pay, or even be paid, to watch this trash. In a cinema no less.

Best response I’ve read about this film is that if they screened it during a flight people would still walk out.

Why would anyone outside the supporters of her husband’s party of racist, misogynist idiots want to see a film about someone else’s First Lady directed by Brett fucking Ratner?

Amazon paid $40 million for this film.
Melania got $28 million for this film.
The film has already done what it was meant to do.
note: how long would it take you to make $28 million? Do the math and get depressed and/or angry.

Watched it – felt really uncomfortable during the sex scenes but I suppose it’s still classed as a type of nature.

I’m amazed anyone thought a theatrical release for this was a good idea. Or at least beyond a single night at some obscure 20-seater Curzon just to get on the nominations for the inevitable ~~Oscar~~ Razzie.

I would imagine only the flag shaggers would be interested in seeing this.

I think you could safely delete the word “Scottish” from that headline, and it still be accurateÂ

Not even the loyal maga’s can be bothered to support her.

It probably also doesn’t help that the director was Brett Ratner.

I mean, the trailer for this came on before a film I saw last week and there was audible laughing when it finished. Sorta says it all.

Excuse for trump to implement the biggest tariffs ever now

Seems like a lot of work to go to in order to bribe a President.

Why would a cinema even play that film they must know it is going to be a loss.
dannyreillyboy on
this is clearly and obviously a vanity project for both trump and his escort lady! Amazon or whoever threw the money at her as a bribe of sorts, and something to bestow a sense of grandiose and relevance upon Melania! no doubt the payment was up front and amazon will carry the cost of it flopping!
No doubt it’s fuelled by the fact that the Obamas (particularly Michelle) can do this kind of thing to great success and Netflix back then because it sells! But bring ego and narcissism into the mix …. and this is what results, a slap of reality ….. no one (outside USA) likes her and no one likes the trump circus enough to pay to be part of it.
how long until they start blaming the film director, “off with his head’! probably going to be a huge hit in Russia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Yemen etc! and every other country will get 100% tariffs.

Christ what did they spend on the marketing campaign? $12.50? Never heard or seen anything about this

regardless of who she is who in their right mind goes to the cinema to watch a documentary??

This is so transparently a money laundering scheme that it isn’t even funny. Even MAGA die-hards won’t care about Melania’s back story enough to watch a film about her, so there is no chance that anyone in the UK would.
WorldInWonder on
Sad thing is she doesn’t really care as she’s already been paid.

saw the trailer for this in cinema recently for this. Thought it was a satire and they cast someone that had a really good likeness to her, took me a good 20 seconds to realise it was actually her and the whole trailer seemed so pointless

Why they thought people would be interested is baffling. You weren’t elected lady!

At sone point she has to hear about ticket sales. I don’t envy whoever has to deliver that news!
Although I almost expect Donald himself to tell us it out-sold Inception’s opening week, and threaten to sue any pulication saying otherwise.

I mean, have they even advertised it? Not heard about it till now. Not that I’d watch it.

It’s wild to think that the primary goal of this whole project was just to funnel money, not to actually make a film people want to see. That Amazon paid $40 million for something with zero audience appeal says it all. Honestly, the joke about people walking out during a flight screening feels painfully accurate. What a colossal waste of resources that could have gone to actual artists.

I’ve seen this advertised a lot over the last couple of weeks. My only thought was who the eff would pay to watch this.

I guess so. The US military just abducted 2 Scottish citizens out of Scotland even though Scotland told the US they would handle the 2 citizens and they will stay in Scotland but the US took them anyways.

I’m convinced this part of the marketing campaign. Working in the industry nobody expected this to do well in the UK if at all.
I can’t see why any film programmer especially for massive chains would have taken this.. I mean also Scotland… if anywhere they’ll be any sort of audience it would be London.. and even then..
VUE’s chief has been quite vocal about the results which makes me think he’s a part of it – or his booking team have massively failed picking it up. I imagine they have a good deal on fees with Amazon and have taken the film as a result of that perhaps.

It was a bribe to stop Trump giving Amazon a hard time, that was obvious when it was announced and still is. Bezos will see the $40m wasted as a business expense.

If it was in any way realistic then people *might have* been interested.
No ICE deporting her after a violent raid or murdering her US Citizen husband for saying anything has made it clear that its pure fantasy.

Cinemas: help! We’re going broke!
Also cinemas: let’s devote screens to a documentary about Melania Trump that was Amazon’s bribe – ohh, audiences will love that!
