Melania, the Brett Ratner directed documentary about former model and current First Lady Melania Trump, is shaping up to be one of the biggest bombs in the history of the art form known as cinema. While the film premieres in over 2,000 movie theaters on Friday, seemingly just handfuls of tickets have been sold.
Well, yeah. This was basically just a bribe. No one was actually supposed to watch it.
I’m going to watch it once it becomes available on the high seas
Arr, me matey!
I can’t believe they decided to show this in theaters. They could have put this on prime and botted the numbers and no one would be the wiser.
Yeah but this way we get the enjoyment and schadenfreude of the numbers being on the record. 😂 I’m very much enjoying everything being posted about this flop.
I’ve seen government officials brag that one night only they bought out the entire theater and are giving away tickets for free.
It is f****** imperative that they stroke her ego on this one. Who knows what she has on Trump at this point.
I don’t even wanna pirate it.
(rubs lamp) “I wish for a P2P service that will let me delete the seeders file.”
Deploy a swarm of leeches that do not seed and keep deleting and downloading the file.
With more effort it can probably just send the chunks to /dev/null
Still too much effort for Melania
I’d love to know what the thinking was.
Did Trump demand this to belittle her? Did he really think it would be a hit?
It would be a great SNL skit; all the former first ladies having a hen party watching it.
She got $28 millions into her personal pocket. That’s all they care about.
To us, $28 million is a vast fortune.
In the crowd they run with, it’s what you pay for a party.
Good point. Getting bribed is the point actual amount is just silly details for them.
It’s my personal opinion. but I think it was Donnie trying to do something to humiliate Melania. Could be wrong, but that’s the sense I get.
Who cares? She got her 40 million. It didn’t even need to be released as it was a pretense for a payoff anyway. Much like selling art is used for money laundering.
Brett Ratner, according the article, is now attached to direct Rush Hour 4, which the article implies is due to Trump (?) putting his fingers on the scales. It seems fishy
Well they just guaranteed i won’t be purchasing a ticket to see RH4.
🏴☠️
You are paying for this. $40M payout to her, $75M tax write down for Netflix.
As God intended.
Gross, theaters here in east TN are at least half full for the evening shows
I love the Blue Ridge but goddamn I hate so many of the people here
Same in AZ. I looked at times for a few of my local theaters expecting a laugh only to see most showings pretty full. It’s only the later ~8pm stuff with tons of seats open.
The salad and water God-Squad tends to be an “Early to bed… “ bunch
Five bucks says if you showed up, the vast majority of those seats would be empty.
East TN is… Well, East TN.
Sadly yes =/ very pretty. Lots of chuds.
seemingly just handfuls of tickets have been sold.
When these scant few ticket holders were questioned, they responded in shock learning that the movie was about the current “first lady” and instead thought it was a documentary about skin cancer. After seeing the movie these same attendees did indeed the movie was cancer, though not in the way they expected.
I thought the sex scene was tastefully done
I’m pretty sure it was a shot for shot remake of Jabba and Leia.
Aaajubba fukka-rolla-aaaa-aaahahhh~
Lovely thorax…
Someone needs to make a porn version ASAP.
Are you kidding? I streamed it and came so many times! Sure, the plot was thin, but that’s half the fun! And the lead was honestly stunning.
Oh, wait, Melania? No no, I was talking about the porn flick, Melabia. My mistake.
Wait until Oscar season.
I feel the same way. I know there are nude pictures of her out there and I’ve never once considered looking for them.
Oh wow now I’m scared to even look for other people’s naked picture, I could find hers
Everyone with MAGA relatives should hide the TV remote and put this movie on full volume. Make them suffer for it.
