Melania Trump is making waves at the box office with her documentary, “Melania,” which pulled in an impressive $7.04 million during its opening weekend. This isn’t just a win in the Trump household—it’s a record-breaking moment, marking the largest opening for a non-fiction film in the last 10 years. That’s right, the film has surpassed the previous record set by “After Death,” which opened at $5 million. Talk about turning heads!
What's even more surprising is that early projections had it reaching only between $3 million and $5 million. So, what sparked this unexpected interest? Perhaps a peek into the life of a First Lady during pivotal moments is just too enticing. Premiering at the rebranded Kennedy Center ahead of its global release, the film offers unique glimpses into Melania’s world in the lead-up to her husband’s second inauguration.
Directed by Brett Ratner, who’s returned to filmmaking after a break due to controversy, the documentary certainly has a compelling backdrop. As audiences flock to theaters, it seems like curiosity and the drama surrounding the Trump family keep drawing us in. Who knew politics could be so riveting, with a box office twist? Are we all secretly craving the inside scoop?
