Well, yeah. This was basically just a bribe. No one was actually supposed to watch it.

I can't believe they decided to show this in theaters. They could have put this on prime and botted the numbers and no one would be the wiser.
Yeah but this way we get the enjoyment and schadenfreude of the numbers being on the record. 😂 I’m very much enjoying everything being posted about this flop.
I don't even wanna pirate it.
I'd love to know what the thinking was.
Did Trump demand this to belittle her? Did he really think it would be a hit?
It would be a great SNL skit; all the former first ladies having a hen party watching it.
She got $28 millions into her personal pocket. That's all they care about.
To us, $28 million is a vast fortune.
In the crowd they run with, it's what you pay for a party.
Good point. Getting bribed is the point actual amount is just silly details for them.
Who cares? She got her 40 million. It didn't even need to be released as it was a pretense for a payoff anyway. Much like selling art is used for money laundering.
Brett Ratner, according the article, is now attached to direct Rush Hour 4, which the article implies is due to Trump (?) putting his fingers on the scales. It seems fishy
You are paying for this. $40M payout to her, $75M tax write down for Netflix.
Gross, theaters here in east TN are at least half full for the evening shows
I love the Blue Ridge but goddamn I hate so many of the people here
Same in AZ. I looked at times for a few of my local theaters expecting a laugh only to see most showings pretty full. It’s only the later ~8pm stuff with tons of seats open.
East TN is... Well, East TN.
seemingly just handfuls of tickets have been sold.
When these scant few ticket holders were questioned, they responded in shock learning that the movie was about the current "first lady" and instead thought it was a documentary about skin cancer. After seeing the movie these same attendees did indeed the movie was cancer, though not in the way they expected.
I thought the sex scene was tastefully done
I'm pretty sure it was a shot for shot remake of Jabba and Leia.
I feel the same way. I know there are nude pictures of her out there and I've never once considered looking for them.
Everyone with MAGA relatives should hide the TV remote and put this movie on full volume. Make them suffer for it.
Are you kidding? I streamed it and came so many times! Sure, the plot was thin, but that's half the fun! And the lead was honestly stunning.
Oh, wait, Melania? No no, I was talking about the porn flick, Melabia. My mistake.
Audiences could do the funniest thing right now

I'm excited
It'll be cool to see how she views herself
But I won't be paying
We were at a theater and they showed a trailer for it, more than I needed to see - she's heroic, beautiful, graceful and powerful in it. No one was sure if it was a real thing or if someone was really committed to doing a spoof. "It really looks like her" said one person. Everyone was looking at each other, confused, at the end of the trailer. I would have booed but I also thought it must be a carefully committed spoof of some sort.
Only a true trash human could be with trump. She has to know what he was up to and I wonder what she has done but in no way do I think she is clueless about what is going on around her.
Imagine that Americans, massive reality show junkies, are not interested in a THOT To Trot movie.
How crappy do you have to be to reach that state in life.
