Didn’t she already make a documentary called Melania a few years ago that dropped off a cliff?

The reporting on this is so disingenuous.
Everyone on the planet knows this was a massive backhander from Amazon to Trump. The press should be much clearer in that. This isn’t a box office bomb.

Honestly that seems like a lot. How much of that is people with unlimited passes who just go and see anything that’s on?

Why would anyone pay their money to go see a “documentary” about the wife of a fascist sex offender?

Should have put it straight on streaming. Cinema is already struggling and quite honestly, what’s compelling about her story?

Just found out that Jeffrey Epstein is the one who introduced trump and melania to each other. Who’d have thought it! Wonder if that’s in the film.

£33k?!
That seems like a lot tbh, I wonder if I could make a Teen Wolf remake with snails for about £25 and then show that in cinemas.
Even if it made only £100 I’d be quite happy.

Amazon paid over $50 million for this documentary, the largest upfront sum ever for any documentary. I imagine it was purely to ingratiate themselves with Trump. They never thought it’d make that money back.

I find it really hard to believe £33k of tickets were sold. I don’t really know how these things work, does the cinema have to pay a minimum for showing it regardless of how many tickets they have sold?

£33,000 seems ridiculously high. That implies that thousands went to see it, when clearly that can’t be the case.

Ok now i’m going to make a movie where the idea is that we make the worst movie imaginable for the tax write offs.
Basically imagine the producers but instead of a bunch of guys making a musical about the worst possible subject imaginable this time it’s a movie about a nazis.

I would absolutely rinse the fuck out of any of my mates for going to see this

£33k sounds like a very high figure. That’s something like 3000 seats sold. Can’t believe that many people could be interested in watching this excrement

Wait wait wait. In like 20 years I want to pitch a remake of The Producers but instead of Springtime for Hitler it will be Melania!

Isn’t that the mean UK wage? Comically low for a film.
Even Chairman of the Board (from that Norm joke) made a miserly $7 million

At least shes nailed her Arrest/Trial photo pose. That looks just like her husband’s.

For Melania to have survived her time at Epstein parties, she was probably one of the recruiters herself. What wife is OK with her husband having at least one affair with Stormy Daniels? Ghislaine and Melania had a lot of affection for each other.

The MAGA subs here are celebrating its huge success by making more than 3 million dollars in its opening weekend.

I barely go to the cinemas as it is, certainly wouldn’t be going to see her

So, I had to go look this up.
A few months ago, I had the unique experience of having the cinema completely to myself when I saw [Alpha](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32275943/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk), a French film about a third generation immigrant which was written and directed by a woman, Julia Ducournau, who I hold in very high regard.
I am very sad to say it made somewhere in the region of $16,000 less than this at the UK box office.
Maybe it’ll be like The Substance, another film I saw in a mostly empty cinema, and everyone will have miraculously have seen it the minute it drops on streaming on MUBI because everyone subscribes to that.

This movie gave us the best review quote of all time

Maybe ‘Melania 2’ will be better received, as some sequels are better than the original.

Amazon gives Trump $50million disguised as a payment for a film no one wants or cares about. The news pulling the shocked pikachu face when it brings in £33,000 is a joke. They know what’s up, they’re just too scared to publish it.
What happened with Trump suing the BBC by the way?

Anyone who has been to see this in Britain who wasn’t doing so for work/review purposes should be set adrift.

In Spain it made 5,378 euros. Or 81 euros per cinema. Despite a marketing campaign worthy of a blockbuster
Doesn’t add up. Unless…

Hey, that’s great! She has enough for a down-payment on a house. 🙂
ambivalent-ish on
Was there anyone who thought that many British people would want to see it?
I assume the cinemas got leant on to show it in that many theatres on pain of missing out on the next big blockbuster and the distributor got leant on by Amazon or whoever is in the middle right back to Trump.

FFS, I know the flicks are pretty pricey these days but who in the UK paid £33k to watch that?
