"The Brett Ratner-directed documentary was screened at the White House, and is set to open this weekend with a $40 million production budget and $35 million promo pricetag to recoup. On Tuesday night's edition of CNN's OutFront, Enten and Burnett agreed that signs don't point to a strong showing even if Trump or somebody goes in and buys a whole lot of tickets: BURNETT: Tonight, early ticket sales for the new documentary Melania not pointing to a blockbuster at this time."
"I don't think the president is going to be right. Erin Burnett its not the first time he was incorrect. And you know what we're expecting right now in terms of how the movie is going to be received, just take a look at the projections for the Rotten Tomatoes for Melania, the chance of the score, in fact, being below 20 percent. That's not good, Erin."
Early ticket sales for the Amazon MGM Studios Melania bio-documentary indicate weak demand and no sign of blockbuster success. The documentary had a $40 million production budget and a $35 million promotion budget to recoup. Projections estimate opening weekend receipts between $1 million and $5 million, far below top documentary debuts such as Fahrenheit 9/11. Rotten Tomatoes prediction-market odds show a majority chance the film's score will fall below 20 percent. A White House screening preceded the public opening. Even large coordinated ticket purchases would likely not elevate the film to hit status.
