Criticism for Donald Trump over his claim about 'MELANIA, the Movie' as the film is projected to incur a $70,000,000 loss at the box office.
With less than 24 hours left until the premiere of the documentary centered on Melania Trump, questions arise about ticket sales.
Background and Synopsis
The film, titled "Melania," directed by Brett Ratner, offers a glimpse into Melania Trump's life leading up to Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration. It promises exclusive access to private moments and key meetings.
Melania Trump described the documentary as a rare chance for viewers to see an unfiltered part of her life covering family, business, and philanthropy as she readies to return as First Lady.
Ticket Sales and Projections
The documentary is set to debut in over 1,400 US theaters and 27 countries, with Donald Trump actively promoting it. However, skepticism arises as online posts show screenshots of empty cinema seats, challenging claims of high ticket demand.
Despite a significant investment by Amazon MGM Studios, early box office projections suggest a modest opening weekend. Forecasts indicate a $5 million opening weekend, with some estimates projecting even lower figures, reflecting limited ticket sales in various locations.
