The "Melania" movie is experiencing a disastrous international release. Despite a reported $40 million purchase price and an additional $35 million spent on advertising, the film is struggling to attract audiences. Empty theaters are a common sight, and ticket sales are shockingly low in multiple countries, raising questions about the film's financial viability.

International distribution has been a challenge. The film was pulled from theaters in South Africa. In the UK, ticket sales are described as "soft", with single-digit sales reported for some screenings. Across Scotland, Spain, and even Canada, the movie is playing to near-empty theaters. This poor performance raises serious doubts about the film's ability to recoup its investment.

The film's underwhelming performance has become a social media talking point, with images of empty cinemas circulating online. The projected opening week earnings are estimated to be between $1 and $5 million. This is a significant disappointment, particularly given the substantial marketing budget. The movie's failure could impact the studio's future projects.
