“Not A Single Ticket Sold At Boston’s Largest Theater For Melana Premiere”

I guess that this must be what watching a train wreck would be like if you had an unlimited vision of the rest of the track and all the activities taking place 360 degrees around the train and the track. I just finished listening to Ron Filipkowski’s Uncovered show. Filipkowski says that Melania has a lot invested in this movie doing well because she’s devoted this past year to it.

I can’t believe that she’s naive enough to not see this as a bribe by Jeff Bezos, when the rest of the world is calling the shot that way. Maybe she’s as narcissistic as her husband and believes that she’s so wonderful that all that money she pocketed was legitimately earned. (She got paid as much as Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio do for a feature.) Plus, we’re told that there is a docuseries in the offing. I assumed that would drop based upon the success of Melania: The Motion Picture but maybe it’s going to come to TV sets regardless. Meanwhile, this is how well things are going in Boston.

They showed Melania on my flight this weekend and three people walked out.

Tomorrow is the premiere at the Kennedy Center and Friday is the world premiere. Everybody is watching this cultural event like a hawk and it’s going to be like an election day, nobody really knows anything until the votes start coming in. Can Melania deliver? Can she put asses in theater seats, as Darryl Zanuck used to inquire of would be stars? Or will she be the next Anna Sten? (An actress that Sam Goldwyn thought would be the next Garbo and she flopped miserably.)

Plano, Texas has sold a lot of tickets. That’s the 9th largest city in Texas, so maybe that’s an indicator of something. Los Angeles reports some sales at the theater in Century City. I suppose the question there is how many people stay in their seats until the end or leave and go to Harry’s Bar?

Harry Enten, who crunches numbers for CNN, predicts that there’s over a 60% chance that Melania will tank on Rotten Tomatoes.

We will only know the truth this weekend. But if Melania really has her sights set on this level of a movie career and being paid like Pitt and DiCaprio every year, I would say it’s time for a reality check.

And there is one factor that is alarming: there have been no critics’ premieres. If the film could stand on its own, it’s reasonable to bet that critics would have been invited to view the movie. Critical acclaim is one way to get the proverbial asses in the seats. The fact that there has been a critical blackout of this movie may tell you everything you need to know. Just two more days of suspense.
