Melania Trump's new documentary has been exposed as one of the biggest flops in recent Hollywood history. Amazon paid $40 million for distribution rights plus $35 million in marketing for a total of $75 million - but advance ticket sales are dismal and box office projections are catastrophic.
In this video, I break down:
Why Amazon paid $40M for Melania's documentary (when experts say it's worth $5M max) Brett Ratner's controversial return to filmmaking after 7 years The shocking $35 million marketing budget (more than Taylor Swift's Eras Tour) Dismal ticket sales in NYC and Palm Beach despite Trump's claims Box office projections: $1-5M opening weekend (needs $80M+ to break even) Theater count slashed from 2,000+ to 1,400 screens The real reason Jeff Bezos approved this deal (hint: it's not about the movie)
This isn't just a failed documentary - it's a $75 million political payoff disguised as a film acquisition. I expose exactly how corporate power and political influence merged to create this disaster, and why the empty theaters were always part of the plan.
