'Melania' Faces Backlash As Watchdog Claims U.S. Troops Were 'Pressured' To Attend Screenings

The documentary 'Melania', produced by Brett Ratner and released by Amazon, is facing new scrutiny after the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) reportedly claimed that active-duty U.S. service members were 'pressured by commanding officers to attend screenings'. The $75 million film, which chronicles U.S. First Lady Melania Trump's 2025 presidential inauguration and return to the White House, opened on January 30 and generated $7 million in ticket sales, despite reports of low theater attendance and negative reviews.
