@nomenloony Hooray, although that's still 7 tickets too many.
@nomenloony @HollieK72 I'd expect a few sales to journalists who feel duty bound to endure the worst experiences, so their readers don't have too

@kitten_tech @nomenloony They probably had to draw lots, and the person with the short straw had to go.

#Melania the movie has sold SEVEN tickets in the UK on a £35,000,000 advertising budget. That's five million pounds advertising per ticket!
Most of the time I think my country is scummy, but on this occasion we got the assignment and understood.
Meanwhile FIFA created a new set of movie awards and the movie is getting all of them.

@nomenloony You'd think they'd have noticed that even conservatives here don't like Trump and his circle that much. Especially not after the recent remarks dismissing the contribution of the British military in Afghanistan. And even without that, well why the hell do they think Brits would want to spend their money on a documentary about the First Lady? It's not like she even takes her top off in it. (I'm assuming.)

@nomenloony maybe seven tickets in one particular theatre, definitely not in all of UK. The sales listed by the Guardian in this article already come to more than that (not much more though). https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/26/melania-trump-documentary-uk-cinemas-vue-soft-sales

@nomenloony I’m still not sure why there needed to be a documentary about a woman with the worst taste in men since Eva Braun. I’m surprised it sold that many tickets.

@nomenloony talking about box office success misses the point though: Paying a LOT of money to someone close to the president.
Especially since the subject would not be a super interesting person in the States in the first place. And internationally even less.

@nomenloony imagine if instead of her stupid film, she'd given the money to charities.
But there we are -

Reminiscent of that awful FIFA film which did equally badly:
"In the United States, (United Passions) grossed $918 in its opening weekend."
(That's not millions or thousands but just $918.00!)

@mr_harm but it's still hilarious and sends a powerful message.

@gavin57 I wonder if those seven people are going to eBay their unused tickets in years to come - it'll be rarer than a mint in wrapper copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day on N64

@titia apparently it's nearer 100 now across the UK.
100.
For a population of over 60 million.
I suspect many of those are going to save their physical tickets and eBay them later.

@nomenloony I wouldn't bet on those tickets fetching much of a price there

@nomenloony I counted 10 in this article, but I only took a brief glance, so maybe 13?
