Melania, an Amazon-MGM film with a $75 million price tag, follows the 55-year-old for the 20 days leading up to her husband’s inauguration.
According to USA Today, Melania‘s opening weekend box office brought in $7 million. This figure is higher than the expected $3 million to $5 million opening, so that’s a win for the first lady, I guess.
Amazon-MGM may be feeling a slight burn, though. As the New York Times put it, “Theater owners keep roughly 50 percent of ticket sales, meaning that Amazon will end the weekend with about $3.5 million to show for its investment.”
But, if you ask Fox News, Melania was a major success. Just look at the lower third headline they apparently ran with: “Box Office Success for Melania Trump’s Movie.”
In response, people online were squinting their eyes. One person questioned, “They spent $75 million and made [$7] million and they’re calling it a success????”
“Clearly, we have different notions of what success means,” another said.
The internet is like, “Is box office success in the room with us?”
Welp… What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
