"Melania, which has been widely panned and branded a vanity project by critics, follows the first lady in the 20 days leading up to her husband's second inauguration. It will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video after Jeff Bezos' Amazon MGM studios paid $40 million for the film."
"In its first two weeks in theaters, Melania earned $13.35 million domestically, exceeding box office projections thanks, in part, to organized groups of Republican women who made up a large portion of the audience."
"Melania had been marketed as an insider look at the most mysterious and opaque woman in global politics, and her relationship with her husband, but critics have argued that the film is a piece of promotional material for the Trump administration."
Melania, a documentary following the first lady through 20 days before her husband's second inauguration, will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video starting March 9. Amazon MGM Studios acquired the film for $40 million. The documentary earned $13.35 million domestically during its theatrical run, surpassing projections largely due to organized Republican women audiences. The film features Melania meeting with stylists, interior designers, and political allies, with voiceovers about her love of style and her relationship with her husband. A White House premiere in January included branded merchandise and limited-edition memoir copies. Critics have widely dismissed the film as promotional material for the Trump administration rather than substantive documentary content.
