Semi-retired lawyer -- had the “Western Civilization” education that right wingers want for all, but read the books. Very worried about how our institutions are failing us, one by one.

An average of ten tickets sold per screening.
AI Overview +5 As of late January 2026, the documentary Melania, produced for Amazon MGM Studios, is experiencing low theatrical attendance, with early reports indicating an average of fewer than 10 tickets sold per screening in many locations. Here are the details on the film's release as of January 26, 2026: Initial Performance: Despite a wide planned release in approximately 2,000 U.S. theaters, presales have been described as "dangerously low" in major cities. Box Office Projection: The film is projected to gross roughly $5 million in its opening weekend in the U.S. and Canada. Targeted Viewership: Reports indicate that ticket sales are largely restricted to specific "MAGA strongholds," with negligible interest in major cities like New York and Los Angeles. Context: The documentary, which explores the 20 days leading up to the 2025 inauguration, was acquired for a reported $40 million, with an additional $35 million in marketing. While some reports suggested slightly better than expected traction in certain areas, the overall consensus is that the film is underperforming in theaters.

“Appear to be contradicted?”

Even the NYT changed this to “are contradicted”.

Love you. But words matter (as someone once said).
