"Melania" Movie Meltdown? $75M Documentary Faces Empty Theaters and Mockery
Despite President Donald Trump claiming that tickets for his wife's new documentary are "selling out, FAST," industry reports tell a starkly different story. As the January 30 premiere of #Melania looms, major cinema chains like #Vue in the UK are reporting "soft" ticket sales, with some flagship locations selling as few as one or two tickets for opening night. This #BreakingNews comes amid a wave of #SocialMediaMockery, as users on platforms like #Letterboxd and #TikTok have begun "review bombing" the film days before its global debut.
The project, which reportedly cost #AmazonMGM $40 million to license with an additional $35 million in marketing, is the first major film from Brett Ratner in years. While a star-studded VIP screening was held at the White House—attended by tech giants like Andy Jassy and Tim Cook, and celebrities like Mike Tyson—the general public seems less enthused. Critics have labeled the trailer "staged" and "static," likening it to a high-budget perfume advertisement rather than a behind-the-scenes look at the #TrumpAdministration transition.
From #DefacedPosters to reports of #EmptyTheaters, the #MelaniaMovie is facing an uphill battle to recoup its massive $75 million investment. This video explores the disconnect between the #TrumpNewsom rivalry at #Davos2026 and the domestic reception of this "authorized vanity project." Is the #FirstLady’s cinematic debut destined to be a box office bomb, or will the #MAGA base rally to save it at the final hour?
