First Lady Melania Trump's documentary "Melania" sells just one or two tickets per screening worldwide, turning Amazon's $75M investment into a historic flop.
The Daily Beast reported that the flagship Vue cinema location in Islington, London, sold just one ticket for the 3:10 p.m. screening and two tickets for the 6:00 p.m. showing. A similar picture emerged at an AMC theater in Orange County, California, which failed to sell a single ticket for Saturday evening's screening – evidence that the failure has crossed the Atlantic Ocean.
Online reactions have been scathing. The Queerty website noted that users of the film review social media platform Letterboxd left insulting comments on the page for the 2020 film "Looking for Melania Trump" – which is unrelated to the new film. One called the new documentary "a 104-minute perfume commercial for 'gold-plated despair.'" Another user wrote, before the comment was deleted: "No one asked for this burning garbage."
Who is shocked by this?
ReplyDeleteConsider that this is supposed to be a flattering film about the wife of a presiden that everyone hates. Now, if it was a "tell all" scandal revealing film, everyone theatre would be sold out into August.
