I think I'm going to go see it just so I can be the board expert on the Melania movie

An ad appeared in a Boston Craigslist offering $50 to people to go and see the movie in person
I doubt it was real but I bet several people tried to reach out.

Birds of a feather
My coworker went to see it with his future in laws last night. Can't wait to hear how it went

You sure do know a lot about it for it to not be very interesting to you.
He's will be first in line to watch this. Guaranteed!
"Be Best" got plenty of attention
Watching all the triggered ***s is funny
It is so funny to see the texags screaming "bribe to Trump for 40 million". it is 2026 guys, women are allowed to earn their own income. Melania made 40 million. You should be happy for a minority immigrant to succeed in America. Good for her.
Will one person please sacrifice $12 and two hours to go see this movie? Let's at least get an honest review. You don't even have to buy a ticket to this movie. Buy a ticket for a different movie and sneak into this one. There will be plenty of seats.

Don't know. Seems woke.
It's made $2.9 million so far. Over under on $7 million for the weekend?

MELANIA projected to gross $8.1M domestic this weekend, well above pre-release estimates. Audience is 72% female and 72% age 55 and older. Top markets include: Dallas, Orlando, Tampa, Phoenix, West Palm Beach. No, that is not normal.

Like anyone can even know that, Napoleon.
I won't see it, but I don't see movies in general now.

With regard to the film:
it's visually quite striking. The production values and photography are outstanding. It's a cliche, but on the big screen the camera puts you right in every scene, seemingly a few feet away from Melania, and it's a marvelous and stratospheric view of all the action. There is a sense of heightened reality about everything, as though one is traipsing through an imperial court during a time of great importance.

Among other tidbits is Obama showing up at the inauguration stag and Elon looking a little unraveled during festivities, and Clinton and W. Bush bobbling about. Plus of course Kamala seeming completely bugged out despite what must have been the maximum dose of her anxiety medication.
Yet comes across is Melania and Donald's indefatigable sense of duty and the weight each shoulders, without complaint.

Looka like it made $7,042,000 for opening weekend which puts it just behind Katie Perry: Part of Me (2012) which made $7,138,266.
It will be interesting to see how big the drop off is in the second weekend.

I appreciated this summary, from the subject of the documentary:
Quote:
With this film, I want to show the American people my journey. The transition from a private citizen to the first lady. Every day, I live with purpose and devotion, orchestrating the complexities of my life while nurturing my family's needs.
People should see it, so spoiler blocks below, but below I've summarized the central questions of the documentary:
Will Donald Trump be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States?
yes.
Will Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Joe Rogan show up to inaugural galas?
yes.

Continuing the summary:
Quote:
My creative vision is always clear. And it's my responsibility to share the idea with my team, so they can bring it to life.
My mother Amalija's fashion talent and expertise cultivated my deep appreciation for great design. From her wisdom, I grew up to honor the craft, treasure the artistry, and respect the level of perfection required to create timeless pieces.
Being the First Lady requires managing many obligations. You have your own schedule, the White House schedule, and the President's schedule. You need to be a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend.
Donald Trump is in the film here and there, but he seems a secondary character.
The president doesn't have a speaking part until 25 minutes in, after the fashion discussions. Even then, it's by phone, with him asking if she's seen election returns and if she's been watching: "I did not," she tells him, "I had meetings all day……..I will see it on the news."
Then he says: "Nothing like it has happened before, ever. It's a landslide, that's for sure."

My favorite set pieces are at Carter's funeral at the National Cathedral - especially voicing-over how much she misses her mother, who died a year prior.
She says, "I'm planning to go to St. Patrick's Cathedral when I'm back in New York. I will honor her, light a candle for her. Have a quiet moment to myself." And when she gets back to New York, that's precisely what she does.
She somberly walks to St. Patrick's, just her, the priests who greet her, and the documentary crew. She lights a candle for her mother, and there are some excellent lingering fashion shots.

I thought that said, "excellent lingerie fashion shots', when I first read it.

Those are available online. She really shows great poise and class in them.
My Aunt posted this exact quote on Facebook. It amazes me what people will actually believe. If it's on the internet, it must be true.
Amazon spent $75M on this movie.
It won't gross more than $20M, and will net 60% of that.
So $12M.
Zero new Amazon subscribers will be obtained. And this was all obvious math.
But the Trumps walk away with $28M.

Wow I didn't know who Nick Adams was. That's incredible!
Lol- sure Nick. I'm sure you saw 2 young girls with tears well up in their eyes. And a group of college girls at Orange Theory talking about how good of a husband Trump is. Yep, I'm sure those things actually happened, and are not fiction at all by "Trump's favorite author".
