Melania Trump’s long-anticipated documentary film is set to premiere in theaters across the United States on January 29, drawing renewed attention as its release date approaches. Promoted enthusiastically by President Donald Trump as a “must-watch,” the film has nonetheless faced unexpectedly weak ticket sales, prompting online criticism and renewed scrutiny of its commercial prospects.
The documentary, titled Melania, was announced just weeks before Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration one year ago. At the time, the project was positioned as a major cinematic undertaking focused on the life, work, and personal experiences of the former First Lady. The film was produced by Melania Trump’s production company, with Amazon reportedly paying approximately $40 million for licensing rights, signaling strong initial confidence in the project’s potential reach and appeal.
Speaking publicly when the film was first revealed, Melania Trump described the concept as an intimate look at her daily life and responsibilities, offering viewers insight into aspects of her role that she believed were not widely understood.
