Ticket sales data from the first weekend of screenings of the
documentary "Melania," about First Lady Melania Trump, in Britain,
reveal an embarrassing picture: empty theaters and virtually no sales.
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 rCo evidence that the failure has crossed the Atlantic Ocean.
Amazon MGM Studios paid $40 million for worldwide distribution rights to
the film rCo the highest sum ever paid for a documentary. An additional
$35 million was allocated to marketing efforts. Total: $75 million,
which the investment has failed to yield returns.

Bezos has been great at selling all sorts of goods but his attempt to
sell Melania is a total flop. Perhaps he just did it to make Trump happy knowing it would be a tough sell.
Bezos should have tried a different approach, spice it up a little.
Various ethnic minority men walk into her bedroom and show her a good
time. The movie would be a great hit at the box office besides will be a greater hit in the porn world. That would open the door for a sequel
with Stormy Daniels, a documentary on the life of the orange turd. He
will become a porn star with his little mushroom, of course comedy porn.
