I thought it was an abject failure per the left here. 4 Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?
Nationalist Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Lol...so the Libbies were wrong again? What a surprise. Ill go see it. Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.
User Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Of course, the critics are hating it out of spite. 1 Quote
robosmith Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Long way to go just to break even. MAGA panicked when they heard no one was buying tickets and rushed out to pay homage to avoid the wrath of der leader.

LMAO LOL, like most things you guys on the left have to keep moving the goal posts to cope. Now, it is a long way to go to break even. When the film eventually produces a profit you will be long gone and never acknowledge that. Almost any film has a long way to go to get to profits when most of the market comes later in streaming.

LMAO Can you ever just be honest and not have to contort yourself into a dishonest pretzel? A biopic is a film in which actors play the role of a celebrity or notable person the biopic is about, clown. Quote
John Stone Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 From all accounts Melania could care less whether the pic makes money for the producers or not. She was paid 40 mil for what some would describe as a documentary. During her life she has likely been witness to some realpolitik within her family, in her native state of Slovenia. Considering that exposure Melania likely finds the American public fickle, comical and spoiled! But she'll take advantage of her circumstance ............. and I applaud her for it. She has done extremely well in her life ......... doubtless, Melania likely can't believe how far she's come herself. Quote
ironstone Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 It seems that this film has done much better than expected. Maybe it won't make enough money to break even but that's been the trend for a number of years now in the movie business. The 2025 box office total was 23% below what it was in 2019. Ticket sales, factoring out inflation, have plummeted by nearly 40% compared to pre-pandemic numbers. Since the early 2000s, ticket sales have decreased by 46%, illustrating a long-term decline that began well before the COVID-19 pandemic. The current first lady is a class act, unlike Michelle Obama who is constantly complaining about how tough her life is despite being showered with wealth and adulation primarily because of the man she married.

Show us where Michelle is "constantly complaining about how tough her life is." I've never heard that ONCE. The FACT is you know NOTHING about the burdens of the wife of the first black President. I'll bet they've received A LOT of death threats from American RACISTS. Esp after Trump started LYING about birtherism. BTW, the ticket pre-sales WERE PATHETIC, but when MAGA saw that they jumped in there are rumored to be huge mass purchases to avoid EMBARRASSMENT. Edited February 5 by robosmith 1 Quote
John Johnston Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Seven Million in ticket sales. A complete flop. No surprise here. Mostly blocks of tickets were sold on top of that. Nobody cares anyway. Quote

John Johnston Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Just now, User said: A complete flop compared to what? As was pointed out, for a documentary, which it was, it did quite well. Compared to the more than 75 million to make it. Plus 28 million for her, not to mention most of the people that made it don't want their names attached to it. On the face of it. And it goes down hill from there. no real surpise though. Quote

She has raked in tens of millions in book deals, Netflix, speaking engagements. People all over the world pretty much worship the ground she walks on. During her time as first lady, and after, she gets all kinds of adulation from the media. She is Harry and Megan 2.0 I'm not dismissing any of the death threats or hate directed at her, there is no call for that. And that same standard should also apply to the current president and his wife. Quote Beware the Brookfield industrial complex...

Completely different from your implication that's after "raked in tens of millions in book deals." Thanks for demonstrating YOUR DESPERATION AGAIN. Quote
herbie Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Enough MAGA mental cases that think enduring a few hours of suffering is worth 'owning the libs'. Quote

Neither does Michelle. Barack is not black. If you believe he is black than you hold the racist belief that if you aren't 100% pure white you are the other. Barack was born of a white mom and black dad. That makes him mixed race. That is ok. He is the first nonwhite president. Not the first black president. Don't be so racist.

She is standing up for today's black girls/women, not bragging about how the 1% can make it here. Quote

ironstone Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Search The Melania documentary significantly outperformed initial box office predictions, opening with earnings of $7 million in its first weekend, well above the anticipated $5 million. It achieved the largest opening weekend for a non-fiction film in the past decade, which was quite a surprise to industry analysts. Now clearly it's not going to be in the category of blockbuster, but it's nice that this film is doing well even in spite of the inevitable, prepared negative attacks that the left were itching to release.

WestCanMan Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Leftists will hate Melania for her 'career' choices, but they loved Kamala "I shag old men for political appointments" Harris. Quote If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed. "I don't hate American's, I pointed out the literacy rate to Uncle Sam." - LinkSoul "It's just a parable about rocks and trees talking to muslims to help them kill Jews who are trying to hide. It's open to interpretation." - robobigot
