"Pelosi marveled at the fact that a documentary was performing well in southern, more red states, something she said is rare for documentaries. Pelosi added that the film having any success at all is made even more bizarre by Ratner's involvement. The director hadn't made a feature film since 2014's Hercules and he found himself essentially pushed out of Hollywood after facing multiple sexual assault and harassment allegations, including from actresses Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge in 2017, all of which he denies."
"Pelosi has directed documentaries such as The Insurrectionist Next Door and Pelosi in the House. The new Melania documentary was directed by Brett Ratner. Melania took in more than $7 million in its opening weekend, giving it the highest debut for a documentary in a decade. In the days since, it's held onto strong numbers, pushing its box office to approximately $11 million domestically."
Alexandra Pelosi named Melania Trump her MVP of the week, describing the Melania documentary as "MAGA porn" and calling the film pure propaganda. The film, directed by Brett Ratner, earned more than $7 million in its opening weekend and has reached approximately $11 million domestically, the highest documentary debut in a decade. The documentary performed strongly in southern, more conservative states, an uncommon trend for documentaries. Ratner had not directed a feature since 2014's Hercules and was largely pushed out of Hollywood after multiple sexual assault and harassment allegations, which he denies. Ratner also appears in Department of Justice files connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
