Sorry MAGA, ‘Melania’ Is Most Certainly Not a Hit

Since First Lady Melania Trump’s documentary arrived in theaters on Friday, the Trump administration has worked overtime to declare the film a success. But their spin on the film’s numbers dismisses a stark reality.

The film exceeded early market projections, which placed earnings between $1 and 2 million, by grossing roughly $7 million at the box office during its opening weekend. It now has the highest opening for a non-musical documentary in a decade.
