‘Melania’ documentary’s $8 million box office is a win for the first lady — but not for Amazon

The documentary 'Melania,' focused on Melania Trump, garnered $7 million at the U. S. box office during its opening weekend, marking the strongest debut for a documentary in over a decade. Despite this success, the film's $40 million production and $35 million promotional costs mean it fell significantly short of profitability, especially against Amazon MGM's $75 million investment.
