‘Melania’ Box Office Plummets in Second Weekend

Amazon MGM’s controversial portrait of the first lady appears to be running out of steam.

Melania, the documentary directed by disgraced Epstein associate Brett Ratner, experienced a 67 percent drop-off in attendance during its second weekend, putting it on track to gross just $2.4 million, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The figure brings the film’s total yield to approximately $13.4 million, falling far short of the $40 million Amazon spent to acquire it and the additional $35 million it spent to promote it. The bulk of the film’s earnings came from its $7 million box office takings during opening weekend.
