99% popcornmeter. That's incredible.

---

Are you going to watch it?

---

I will likely watch 10-15 minutes of it when it streams on Amazon.

---

That wouldn't do justice to the greatest documentary of this decade, you have to watch the whole thing.

---

You realize the only reason Trump supporters are praising it is because the left talked so much **** on it, right? They are just rubbing it in the lefts face that it's been way more successful than everyone projected. I think very few people actually believe it's the best documentary of the decade.

---

99% popcorn rating, $7M gross in a week, you HAVE to watch it, the whole thing, no cheating.

Military pressured to see 'Melania,' whistleblowers warn https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/military-pressured-to-see-melania-whistleblowers-warn/

" Thousands of active-duty military personnel may have been "pressured" into seeing the Melania documentary at cinemas around the country, a watchdog has warned.…

According to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, those numbers have been artificially inflated by pressure from MAGA-aligned officers leaning on their troops to buy tickets.

"People are scared," Mikey Weinstein, president and founder of the MRFF said he has letters from members of the U.S. military at eight facilities worldwide, complaining that they were encouraged or pressured to see the film by their superiors."

*I'd bet the 401(k)'s and the homes of a couple of BI posters that Pete Hegseth has no hand in this.

Being encouraged to see Melania sounds worse than Hell Week. I can see this being the plot of a Few Good Men, Part 2.

Watch for the film's receipts for the 2nd weekend. Guaranty the drop off will be 60%+ lower than opening weekend…,,then it will fall into the pay for play and fuzzy math loving arms of Prime Video where it will be proclaimed the #1 streamed documentary of all time.

---

"Melania, Brett Ratner's authorised documentary following the first lady in the 20 days preceding Donald Trump's January 2025 inauguration, has dipped 67% in its second week of release in the US.

The film outpaced expectations over its first weekend, taking in $7.2m domestically and leading Amazon to expand their rollout from around 1,500 venues to just over 2,000. But indications are that appetite had already been sated, with Sunday projections standing at $2.3m, meaning a drop from No 3 to No 10 in the US box office charts."

More update regarding meaning of percentage drop offs between Opening Weekend and 2nd weekend:

50%-60%: Weak; indicates the film is heavily front-loaded.

60% or more: Dangerous territory; suggests a "bomb" or significant financial disappointment.

Do you have a problem with Universal Music using music for Melania's documentary from Jonny Greenwood without his permission?

Or is this just standard operating procedure for the Chump Family?

Ummm.... it just came out on Amazon.

Tell me, would you agree with the First Lady that it was a record-breaking theatrical run?

Melania saw a 67% drop in its second weekend to about $2.3 - $2.4 million, quickly fell off the box office charts, and vanished from major tracking after about four to five weeks.

This documentary has only grossed $16.7 million worldwide.
The costs to produce were $75 million.

Sure sounds like a FLOP.

Would you call this a record-breaking run?
