As the release of Melania Trump’s theatrical documentary approaches, social media users are mocking theaters for reportedly struggling to sell tickets.
The movie, Melaniadescribes the First Lady in the twenty days leading up to Donald Trump’s second inauguration. While the film opens in an estimated 1,500 to 2,000 theaters nationwide on January 30, screenshots shared on social media suggest that moviegoers are not particularly interested in seeing the documentary.
“Not a single ticket was sold for the 9:55 PM opening night with Melania at the busiest movie theater in the metro-Jacksonville area,” says Travis Ackers tweeted a screenshot of a booking screen for the film in Trump’s home state of Florida.
Users shared screenshots of online ticket bookings in their city, many showing the wide availability for the Melania documentary on opening night.

“Trump claims Melania screenings are selling out quickly. At my large nearby multiplex, for four screenings on opening day Friday so far… they have sold 20 tickets,” they wrote.
Others mocked billionaire Jeff Bezos, whose Amazon MGM Studios reportedly spent $40 million to acquire the film rights and another $35 million on promotion. Reports suggest the film is expected to earn only $5 million in its opening weekend, resulting in a total loss for the studio.
“Melania the Movie is a disaster for Amazon and embarrassing AF for Melania and Trump. $5 million opening weekend. They paid her $40 million and another $35 million to get the movie into 1,400 theaters in 27 countries. That’s an average of $3,571 for each theater. WRONG!” an X the user exclaimed.
The Melania documentary is doing well even worse abroad, and is reportedly selling few or no tickets in the limited British theaters where the film is being shown.
