Summary – Melania documentary scores big in US, bombs in UK — cinema popcorn sales plummet accordingly.,
Article –
In a surprising turn of events, the Melania documentary has achieved remarkable success at the US box office, generating an impressive $8 million in revenue. This figure exceeded industry expectations and left many Hollywood executives astonished. Conversely, the documentary experienced a significant lack of interest in the UK, with theaters seeing virtually no attendance and cinema popcorn sales plummeting in tandem.
The Real Scoop
The documentary, which covers the life story of Melania Trump, opened strongly in the US, outshining initial projections by a significant margin. However, across the Atlantic in the UK, ticket sales were so low that some screenings resembled private viewings attended only by the janitor.
Internet Meltdown & Meme-Quake
The stark contrast in UK attendance sparked a wave of social media reactions, including hashtags like #MelaniaOrMelan-yawn and #DocumentaryOrDocument-why. A Twitter poll humorously indicated that most respondents were unaware of Melania’s real-life status or the justification for a documentary about her. Memes portraying empty UK theaters and even a cardboard cutout of Melania asking for popcorn became widespread.
Conspiracy Corner
Speculation arose regarding the UK public’s disinterest, with rumors suggesting a secret society of tea lovers boycotting American political stories or a preference for underground documentaries about soggy biscuits. An anonymous insider jokingly compared the UK response to a “silent night” — quiet and largely ignored. Additionally, a fan petition named #BringBackTheChaiBoy advocated for mandatory chai tea to boost cinema attendance.
If Producers Went Full Banana
Imagining a more imaginative sequel, possibilities include:
- Melania battling animated versions of her couture wardrobe in a post-apocalyptic setting.
- A spin-off cooking show featuring Trump Tower-themed cupcakes.
- A VR experience offering viewers a glimpse into the glamorous life of a former First Lady, accompanied by a kazoo orchestra soundtrack.
Roll Credits… Or Do They?
Despite the lackluster UK reception, the documentary’s success in the US demonstrates that Melania’s story holds significant appeal. Industry experts speculate that this could inspire a new wave of documentaries about political figures and other unusual subjects, such as a dramatic coat rack or the White House garden gnome. Theater owners are advised to prepare accordingly, stocking popcorn-flavored snacks, 3D glasses, and potentially some existential dread.
