Melania Documentary Flops at UK & Ireland Box Office - Is It Propaganda or a Branding Exercise? (2026)

Melania Trump's authorized documentary, titled 'Melania', took in €37,992 at the UK and Ireland box office during its opening weekend, falling short of a re-release of 'The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King'. The film, which focuses on the 20 days leading up to Melania's husband, Donald Trump's, return to the White House in January 2025, received mixed reviews. Some critics called it 'shameless propaganda' that could bore audiences, while others described it as a 'branding exercise' with 'North Korea-style propaganda' and 'a very circumscribed and carefully stage-managed chronicle'. Despite the controversy, the documentary's box office performance indicates a certain level of interest in Melania's story, even if it's not as high as some other films.
