It was just a 75mil payment from Amazon to trump. Movie was just the means to do the transaction.

Coincidentally, Ratner just got greenlit for Rush Hour 4, which had been in development hell since 2018.
Even so, they had a massive budget, a competent director, and they didn't manage to produce something that paints her in a good light.

$75m bribe*
The 28 was just the advertising part iirc.
No. the 28M was for her per reporting. They still had to make the movie and advertise it.
I hate that our country has become so fascist that this dumb bitch's movie failing feels like a victory.
This is shocking 😲 /s!
Honestly I am shaken, if something this good could fail what is the meaning of anything?
I wish it was nothing, but for Canadians, America is a big scowling dictatorship of pure evil.
Take your fucking country back.
I love Canada, but this holier than thou mindset I keep seeing is getting tired. Remember Poilievre was polling ~20 points higher than Carney, until Trump started his 51st state horse shit. The entire world seems to be swinging right, and Canada just got lucky this time.
We are all in this together whether you want to be or not.
Indeed. All of europe will fall if we don't get popular reform to challenge the far right, now backed by the US and Russia, running themselves as reform and all other major parties captured by the establishments/oligarchies.
I love that this quote applies to both the movie and the actual person.
The old story. Churches and other MAGA groups are buying blocks of seats. It's playing to "sold out" empty houses.
At least Eva Braun was interesting.
Mel brooks should do a Producers about Maga. Too soon?
We'll finally get to see "Hitler on ICE"
Can someone explain to me how this movie has a 99% user rating on rotten tomatoes?
the same way the Trump family obtains most things they want, fraud.
I did my part rating this movie appropriately 👎
The only people that would go see this are Trump cultists, who are going to approve of it regardless of quality
Because the only people who'd ever see it are either members of the cult or reviewers being paid to see it.
1% of the audience being reviewers and the rest deciding that it's amazing before seeing it and not changing their mind when proven wrong sounds pretty plausible 🤷
Currently on Rotten Tomatoes:

What's the point in review-bombing when it's so obvious?
It's not review bombing if it actually sucks
Nick Hilton... said that the first lady came off in the film as “a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness” who leads a “vulgar, gilded lifestyle.”
He's saying it's accurate then?
These dumb shits don't get it. It was never supposed to be good. It was a bribe. Even wasting a second watching it to do a review is a waste of human effort.
Remember when people tried to frame her as a victim? What stank of a person.
The funniest thing about this is she isn't even hot. She looks like every soccer mom in every suburban town everywhere.
That's also an accurate description of narcissism—a void of nothingness. Those people only live on the outside, because they don't exist within themselves
Why would movie critics go to see a money laundering attempt?
They don't pay to go see it. They get paid to see it.
75 million dollars. 75. Million. Dollars.
How much of it went to the crew and other people who actually made the damn thing?
Or even used for their benefit in other way, for that matter - I'm asking because apparently the crew did overtime hours with no food while the director lorded over the underlings and stuffed his face. (Don't do overtime if your boss isn't personally ordering you a ton of pizza, guys.)
I read somewhere that about $24 million of it went straight to Melania.
A scowling void of pure nothingness
Sounds like a sick video game summon.

Oh NO! We NEED to Pass a Bill to Quickly Rectify THIS!
-Chuck Schumer!
I loved the one from the Guardian comparing it to Zone of Interest. Utterly boring but makes you think about the off-screen horrors of the Trump regime
They beat up that film like it owed them money.
