Amazon Prime Video will release its two-part Melania Trump docuseries on Nov. 20.
The docuseries follows the theatrical release of “Melania” on Jan. 30 and the film’s streaming release on March 9.
While a press release from Amazon touts “the historic success of ‘Melania, The Film,’” the movie lost tens of millions of dollars. It is true that the film outperformed expectations for a documentary at the box office, garnering $16.6 million worldwide, but considering Amazon paid a whopping $40 million for the rights to “Melania” — plus a $35 million marketing spend — the studio failed to recoup its investment theatrically.
“Melania” is directed by Brett Ratner and executive produced by Trump herself alongside Marc Beckman. Ratner produces with Fernando Sulichin, as well as Muse Films, New Element Media and RatPac Entertainment.
Variety‘s chief film critic Owen Gleiberman hated “Melania, The Film,” calling it a “cheeseball infomercial of staggering inertia.”
