"There are no Melania posters anywhere and the screening is tucked into the back bottom corner of the large movie theatre, like the weird leftover table at a wedding. Eventually, just eight people arrive. The cinema has a capacity of about 150 people. There's a couple, an elderly lady, a few middle-aged men and me. We all sit in the back for some reason. I wonder if the terrible showing is because it's a weird time of day to watch a movie."
"The film, which documents the 20 days preceding Donald Trump's return to power in January 2025, was screened at the White House on Saturday and had its official premiere at Washington's Kennedy Center which the president has renamed the Trump-Kennedy Center in a legally disputed move on Thursday, before its release in 27 countries. The timing for its release could've been better, coming off the back of the second killing of a civilian by ICE in less than a month,"
A $75 million documentary about Melania Trump premiered internationally after a White House screening and an official premiere at Washington's Kennedy Center, renamed the Trump-Kennedy Center in a legally disputed move. The film covers the 20 days preceding Donald Trump's return to power in January 2025. Sydney screenings opened to extremely low attendance, with one Hoyts showing drawing eight people in a 150-seat cinema and citywide screenings selling fewer than 16 tickets each. Earlier 11am showings were pulled due to a miscommunication over Amazon MGM Studios' worldwide embargo, delaying screenings until 4pm AEST. The release coincided with recent controversies involving ICE.
