Do cinemas bother to run the film if there is nobody in the auditorium?
Odeon Rochdale are showing the same single seat booked for both of their Friday screenings.
Thinking of taking the scouts?
Looking at that we could probably take the whole District.
Described by one critic as "so bad that if they showed it on a plane, people would still walk out".
Thats brilliant. I'm using that.
I'm sure FIFA will be awarding her an Oscar.

🤣
According to wiki she earned 28million dollars from it..
What's it about?
There’s some great stuff on social media taking the piss out of this. Yeah it’s yet another grift, and a further justification to avoid giving any money to Amazon, but for someone who relishes the attention it’s absolutely brilliant that it’s bombing. I have nooooo clue why it’s being shown in the UK though.
the whole film is just a way of funneling a bribe to the Trumps. I am astonished its being shown at all in the UK.
I like Stuart Heritage’s take on it in yesterday’s Guardian, which includes describing Melanie as having “convinced a quisling media corporation to finance a $40m ego massage during a tipping point of global insecurity instigated largely by [her] husband, but you can’t blame a woman for trying.”
I'll wait for Kermode to tell me what to think.
I though this was just a film that unfortunately had the same name as the first lady, I didn't realise it was actually about her.
The only problem with deciding if this could possibly be worse than United Passions, is that I would not only have to watch one but both, and that is not a hit I am willing to take for the team.
...you’ll probably end up skipping Melania to watch something less depressing, like Die My Love or a documentary about asbestos inhalation...
This made oi larf... 😁

It might need a theatrical release in the UK to get a BAFTA.

Can't we just default to use the same criteria that the protaganists in each film would embrace?
Who spaffed the most millions of other peoples money on their unhinged vanity project?

Supposedly at 100 cinemas and a suspicion the cinemas are being paid to play it.
I guess its cheap at the price though for Bezos.

Perhaps it's not on in Clacton
The thing I don't get about these vanity projects is that having a film made about me, then seeing pictures of myself and mongrammed stuff with my initials on everywhere is the kind of thing I wake up screaming about in the middle of the night. Its the ultimate nightmare.
How detached from reality would you have to be to actively want this kind of thing? You'd have to be absolutely hatstand!
Are you sure that seat is booked rather than being broken?
Well that's the obvious boring answer, but my money is on Melania herself booking the seat so she can see the crowd reaction.
You know I would pay to see this if I knew the only other person in the audience was gonna be The Frogfaced Racist.

I'd probably force myself, for $48m. Probably unlikely to be offered, though, I guess.
but my money is on Melania herself booking the seat
Can't say that I've seen her bobbing about on Sandbrook Retail Park, but I'm tempted to hang around on Friday to see if The Beast shows up.
Does the film answer the one question I'd ask....was it really worth marrying Trump?
Interesting article on how Melania! The Movie came into being. You're going to be astonished to hear that the director hangs out at Mar-a-Lago, has relationships with unsavoury Middle Eastern authoritarian leaders, and has been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct. I don't understand what the Trump family sees in him.

Comeback or dead-cat bounce? Time will tell.

Mrs Merton would be all over that.
There's been a surge overnight!
Or perhaps another seat got broken.
Just checked the earlier screening.
Broken seat.
Nah, 2 lovers on a secret tryst, booking seats apart to not raise suspicions in the knowledge that no one else will be stupid enough to watch the film.
Apparently Melania is upset because the screening of her film at Mar-A-Largo was overshadowed by the murder of Pretti. So in answer to your question @binners, that's how detached from reality you need to be. Detached enough that you feel aggrieved that the death of another human is interrupting your big night with your lackeys and hangers-on
That second booking is a brave person going there for a dangerw##k...good grief, the depravity!
Better than Shawshank Redemption on IMDB.
In at a perfect 10. All the reviews are by Bezo's BTW.

Dunno. I think most people when challenged by a suspicious partner would blurt out they had gone to a Bonnie blue gangbang vs watching this movie. Probably less likely to get dumped as well.
