As everyone expected but her
This movie was just a trump bribe.
Amazon didn’t care if it lost money. They gave 25 million for the rights to melanias story right to trump. A legal payout. So they spent a few more million on a failed movie.bribe was payed
Single? As in <10??
Yeah, its reported to be a whole 3 people in Londons “flagship” theater venue
Well said.
UK is doing Denmark and the rest of Europe a solid here. They’re being the black cop at the Capitol that baits the MAGAs away from the congressional chambers.
The book is ALWAYS better.
this silly hoe has been humiliating herself the whole fuckin time c’mon
Pffft, she lost the capacity to feel shame or humiliation decades ago when she got involved with the orange child rapist.
Christ, Melanomia could shit herself on live TV, then rub it over her face and that would still be less humiliating than marrying that obese tangerine toddler.
this comment has more viewers than her movie
That’s because it’s a bribe, and not a documentary that’s supposed to make money, lol.
“I’d be amazed if box office gets reported on this title,” one industry insider told The Mirror, adding that the film’s distributors might be paying a fee to cinemas to screen the movie, an established practice known as “four-walling.”
Documentary filmmaker Stefano Da Frè, who was not involved in the film, told CNN that “data-driven” Amazon would not have invested that much expecting to lose money.
“With all their tools, all their AI, Amazon Web Services — they didn’t just come up with that number randomly,” Da Frè said. “They believe, through their metrics, that it’s worth that amount.”
If it gets them a new tax bill or something, it’ll be worth billions. Trump is the cheapest presidential bribe of the last 100 years, and that’s just because of inflation.
“With all their tools, all their AI, Amazon Web Services — they didn’t just come up with that number randomly,” Da Frè said. “They believe, through their metrics, that it’s worth that amount.”
Having worked at Amazon for a couple years this is the most hilarious thing I’ve read.
If someone L10+ wants something to happen its gonna happen metrics be damned. Lemmings will fudge numbers and just make it work. For all the bluster about LPs and such it’s a very top down culture and what VPs and above want they fucking get it.
40M is nothing to Bezos, and it’s a good investment if it wins him a few favors from Trump.
Really depends whether Trump can handle the humiliation.
Personally, I was eager to see it and super pumped to finally learn more about this fascinating and enigmatic woman, but while I was waiting in line with hundreds of other culture lovers George Soros came strolling along and paid each of us a thousand quid to go and watch something better instead. I hear he’s going to all the cinemas with these bundles of cash.
I bet if you posted this on truth.social, orange monkey would re-tweet you.
Do it!
SOOOORRROOOOOOSSSSSSSS!! gestures angrily at sky
Without an /s tag I wasn’t sure if you were serious or not. /s
He can always just throw her under the bus. He’s had plenty of practice.
With narcissism, I think their goal is always both. They deserve the bribe and the adoration, in their minds
It shows a really quite astounding lack of self awareness to even think that it’s worth having a premier in the UK.
Had she been even remotely aware of how we (I’m from the UK) feel about her husband over here, she would know that this was inevitable.
Her husband is universally despised in this country. Even by the Right.
Easy there. Reform dipshits love him.
She should be despised too, she’s not a victim.
He’s half right. Bezos is getting what he paid for. He couldn’t care less if anyone sees that movie.
They believe they’ll get something back out of this via corruption for sure.
I think ultimately Trump will blame Amazon for messing up the movie defeating the whole point of the exercise though.
Amazon should have let Ellison’s companies make it because the backlash won’t have been worth it.
As you said, it’s only worth that amount as a bribe. Paying Trump directly would definitely be a problem if we had a functioning Supreme Court and Congress (or if he were a Democrat), but why not make sure that bribe has a thin veil of deniability by wrapping it up in a pretty package that’s labelled “Movie.”
Apparently you can just give him a Rolex and a gold bar and it’s all good.
Yeah. Get an idiot, add a full set of tools and chatgpt, and they will still do idiotic things.
It got a whole digit? I’m surprised…
I would have humiliated her for FREE.
Where is DOGE when you need it?
UK cinema chain Vue’s will premier “Melania” at 3:10 p.m. at its flagship Islington theater in London, but so far only one person has bought a ticket and just two tickets have sold for a 6 p.m. showing – undercutting President Donald Trump’s hype claims
“MELANIA, the Movie, is a MUST WATCH,” Trump posted Tuesday on Truth Social. “Get your tickets today — Selling out, FAST!”
Lmao, one person… probably a critic who has to watch it too.
I saw that Wired had some article about “here is where theaters are sold out” for this movie…
Sure. Humiliated all the way to the bank.
And luckily she didn’t even have to have sex with a monster this time to make these millions
That you know of
Hi, I’d like to withdrawal the $38 from my ticket sales please?
