Do you think Melania will turn a profit?

Righties seem to have gone silent in this thread.  Weird

"Melania" is averaging two tickets per showing, according to boxofficemojo.com.

Yes, like Melania, Snow White was also a flop.  I never claimed otherwise and specifically said “it sounds like it sucks.”   I did laugh when people like @EternalShinyAndChrome fell for the viral claim that the dwarves were replaced by “diverse people” and @Strike incorrectly thought Disney made changes to the movie based on comments from Peter Dinklage though.  Of course, per usual, neither of them admitted they were wrong.

[Ron_Artest]

You know they're desperate when they bring up snow white in the Melania thread.

[Voltaire]

A normal documentary costs $500K-$3M to make and then you can rightly weep with joy when it hits $7M opening weekend. When you spend $30M+$45M to make a documentary, even a shockingly large turnout isn't going to come near to making up the difference. Melania Trump is a wallflower, non-controversial, uninspiring private person, yet the project was greenlight anyway.

I'm glad its doing significantly better than expected and that people who see it like it, but why did they drop so much money in making and promoting it? Even with record numbers on opening weekend, its not going to come close to profitability.

[Maximum Overkill]

It definitely made money but it should of been a Netflix movie. My wife and her girlfriend went, they really liked it and said the theatre was just under half full. That was opening week. 

For whatever it's worth, I don't care

Why?  Because bezos is buying trump, just like everyone else.  Are you blind to the corruption?

No it definitely did NOT make money.  There is no way it ever will.

I don’t think anyone involved in the movie would ever admit they never expected it to make a profit, although Melania herself carefully avoided that question in an interview prior to the movie coming out.  All the articles claiming it “outperformed expectations,” were only in comparison to the early reports of abysmal ticket sales in the days leading up to the release.

and btw, in the interview where Melania avoided the question of box office expectations, she also said it’s not a documentary.  So people probably shouldn’t be only comparing it to documentaries - https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/29/politics/melania-trump-documentary-premiere-red-carpet

BTW, there was a total of 2 Libtards outside protesting the movie. 

How pathetic is that

Yes you don't care, but don't lie and say it made money.  If you don't care there is no reason to lie about it.

When they originally compared it to documentaries they conveniently excluded concert documentaries in order to make the claim of largest opening in 10 years.  It's all BS.

Of course she did.  Bezos paid her $28M.

No, that's the only explanation. Bezos has been pivoting away from being a left wing shill of late and clearly wants to ingratiate himself to Trump. 

I saw Will Lewis resigned recently from WaPo, soon after the mass layoffs. I think Bezos should invite Alex Jones to crawl out of his tinfoil cave to fill the position. He'd come cheap at this point. I think more Pizzagate and more 9/11 conspiracy theories, combined with dietary supplement ads on the front page could combine with the left's conspiracy theories and give The National Enquirer a run for #1, rather than playing second fiddle to the NYTimes.

People need to know the Boston Marathon bombing was a staged event. The Washington Post could be breaking all kinds of stories.

It does seem like concert documentaries generally aren’t really considered to be documentaries, so I actually don’t really have a problem with excluding them if there was a legitimate reason to compare only to documentaries.  But I’m sure a big part of the reason documentaries do less at the box office is because their budget is lower.   The most important measure of a movie’s performance is its performance vs its budget, I’m still laughing that @Strike actually thinks it was a success “by any objective measure.”

Well look, strike has been thoroughly discredited and laughed at all the way down to meme poster. He's in the peefoam class.  So this isn't really a revelation.

Wasn’t something like $30m the “acquisition rights” that went directly to the Trumps?

It doesn’t matter how Melania does critically or at the box office. The movie was just a vehicle for some type of favor (bribe).
