The documentary about the current First Lady Melania Trump called “Melania” had a limited release that couldn’t prevent it from reaching sales numbers for documentary films that haven’t been seen in 14 years, earning more than $7 million its first weekend. While critics predictably panned it, audiences reacted well to the film. The success of the film means more than 200 theaters will be added to the release the next weekend.

The divide between ordinary Americans and the elitist gatekeepers in every industry has never appeared more stark.
In this case, at least, the ordinary Americans have gained the upper hand.
According to Breitbart, the Amazon MGM Studios entertainment company will add the hit documentary “Melania” to more than 200 new theaters following a spectacular opening weekend that saw the film shatter at least one remarkable record.
“Melania” gives viewers inside access to then-incoming first lady Melania Trump’s life during the 20 days preceding President Donald Trump’s second inauguration in Jan. 2025. Readers may view the trailer here:
Whether it was due to the trailer or simply Americans’ love for the president and first lady, “Melania” raked in more than $7 million on its opening weekend and added another $1 million on Monday, prompting Amazon MGM to add new theaters.
