It probably was a complaint from the Trump admin. They have been using Amazon to censor political opponents via pulling deals, and even books. (Basically they have been threatening federal cloud hosting contracts if certain things are not removed or certain deals ended.) And, Amazon has been sucking up hard, hence the reason this film even exists.

And yet...

per AI

"The 2026 documentary Melania outperformed expectations in its opening weekend, grossing approximately $7 million to $8.1 million domestically in the U.S.. It achieved the best opening for a non-concert documentary in 14 years. The audience was predominantly, white, female, and over 55, with strong performance in southern states like Texas and Florida."

A week since it opened it’s up to 11.8 million domestically is what I found.

The horror-thriller "Send Help,"oops. I mean Melania according to estimates shared Sunday, Feb. 8, by Amazon MGM Studios had a decline of 67% from the movie's first weekend, bringing its domestic total to date to $13.35 million.

A 67% decline is considered a fairly large drop at the box office, generally indicating that devoted fans prioritized seeing the film early on and that there may not be a huge audience beyond that in theaters.

If it wasn’t about something Trump, the talk would be about the most watched documentary in a decade. I know this is how movies are rated, but I’d rather see patrons rather than dollars quoted.

I find it funny that some think the reviewers views are important. I thought that movies are made for the paying audience, who apparently like it a lot.

I’ve dropped my price to $400. Anyone sends me $400 I go watch the entire movie.

If you want to see a good fictional documentary go see "Spinal Tap".
