"Melania" opens to TWELVE PEOPLE in Times Square's busiest theater.

The newspaper (The Guardian) sent a writer to watch Melania at the busiest movie theater in Times Square Friday, the day of its release. He joined just 12 people in the audience. And they were far from blown away.

The poor turnout was reflected at theaters across the world, prompting studio executives to revise opening weekend projections downward for the project commissioned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The billionaire spent $35 million to make the movie, and another $30 million to market it.

An AMC theater near Times Square, at least half of the 12 viewers were there for professional review purposes. Few attendees watched the film for personal interest.

Chase, one of the few civilian viewers, explained his attendance: "I just think it's really interesting to see, like, inside the life of somebody so famous. She's a private person. So I think it's interesting just to kind of see, you know, how her life really is, at least to some extent," he told The Guardian.

3. I recall that at some point during the First Imposition...

Someone happened upon the rent-a-FLOTUS’s public Twitter feed and re-posted the photos found there. Mostly they were images of walls, floors, grainy sky shots out of tinted high rise windows, and such. All were like the accidental butt shots haunting the average modern person’s smartphone archives. The thing is… She CHOSE to post these images on a public feed!

In retrospect, still more gripping than a $78 million dollar two hour long advertisement for something that you can’t quite figure out.
