$75m Amazon-produced paean to the first lady saw empty seats and faint praise as it opened in New York City
At the beginning of her new documentary, Melania Trump tells the viewer that “everybody wants to know” how she spends her time.
“So here it is,” she says. “Twenty days in my life.”
It’s a snappy introductory line, but, unfortunately for the first lady, it appears to be wrong. All available evidence suggests that, actually, very few people want to know about Melania Trump.
At one of New York’s busiest movie theaters on Friday, the day of Melania’s release, the crowd was sparse, and the poor turnout for Melania Trump’s vanity project, commissioned by Amazon founder and Donald Trump-friend Jeff Bezos, was reflected across the country, with executives forced to downplay predictions for the movie’s opening weekend.
