Melania the movie?

Yep, like "Sound of Freedom", I suspect there are plenty of empty auditoriums out there that are "sold out".

Yep. The reviews section for Melania on Rotten Tomatoes is something - I don't think I've ever seen a movie with only a 6% fresh rating from critics and a whopping 98% fresh rating from "average people" (MAGAs or AI) who claimed to have seen the movie. Most of the 98% fresh reviews read like they were written by AI or diehard MAGAs. And I agree this documentary will be just like Sound of Freedom - lots of initial claims that the movie is a "surprise" hit (because of deliberate ticket buying that still plays to mostly empty theaters) followed by the movie quickly dropping off even MAGA's radar and will soon be forgotten as an embarrassment, even by them.

I predict its first weekend will land between $5-10 million. That's pretty good for a documentary. However, its day-to-day and week-to-week numbers, as well as its repeat viewings, will likely be horrendous. "Melania" won't be a "Fahrenheit 9/11" (or any other Michael Moore documentary, for that matter) at the box office. Unlike "Sound of Freedom", I don't think MAGA fans will be able to shine this turd for the general public consumption. If this movie makes it to $15-20 million total, I'll be shocked. Again, for a doc, that's pretty good. But by industry standards, $20 million for a $75 million investment will place "Melania" on plenty of worst movie lists at the end of the year.

You're the poster who owns a movie theater, am I right? So you know whereof you speak?

LOL. This has "Sound of Freedom" written all over it. I'd love to see the "packed" movie houses it's supposedly playing to - I have little doubt they're still mostly empty and appear full only because wealthier MAGAs are buying tickets in bulk, just as happened with Sound of Freedom, where there were numerous reports of the film playing to nearly empty theaters even though a good number of tickets had been sold. It also won't last. Nonetheless, just as with the Sound of Freedom no doubt Trumpers will be gloating about the movie's "popularity" for the next several days and bragging about what a rebuke it is to Hollywood and the Radical Left and so on.

Conservatives also do this with books authored by favored MAGAs and right-wingers - buy large numbers of copies in bulk to make it seem as if the book is a bestseller when in fact it's not.
