Melania, the movie isn't doing too well
-
Millions and millions of Bezos' dollars for production and marketing. Makes him look like a damned fool.
The Guardian reports that “UK ticket sales for Melania are so far ‘soft,’ according to Tim Richards, the chief executive of Vue, one of the country’s biggest cinema operators. Just one ticket has been sold for the first 3.10pm screening on Friday at its flagship Islington branch in London, while two have been booked for 6pm.
“At the time of publication, all seats remained available for the 28 screenings of Melania at the Blackburn, Castleford and Hamilton branches.”
“The picture was slightly rosier at the Cineworld in Wandsworth, which had sold four tickets, while five backrow seats were also booked at the Cineworld in Broughton.”
So, that’s a total of 11 tickets so far. -

The movie has been pulled from distribution in South Africa.

Probably a mix of nobody knows or cares about her, nobody likes Trump, and it sounds like an infectious disease

Culled from Facebook comments:
“Abraham Lincoln saw it. He said it was the worst experience he’d ever had in a theater”
“I called the theater to find out what time the showing started. They said, ‘What time can you get here?’”

I really want to let more time pass and more facts come to light before commenting, especially on Melania the person. I am not exactly sure how much control, and therefore how much responsibility, she has on this.
My most positive impression of Melania is still her first inauguration gown I saw at the Smithsonian's collection of First Ladies' gowns. Someone with that caliber of artful aesthetic sense must have some redeeming substance.

A less harsh review of the movie, from a sympathetic reviewer.
