Box Office: ‘Melania’ Heading for Surprise $8 Million Opening in North America

oops

When people are saying that they're surprised about it making $8 million, that's not a compliment. It was expected to get 5 million at opening. 8 million doesn't even recoup the cost of the advertising campaign. The movie itself cost $45 million to make.

Here's a meme idea, make one with a picture of your ticket stub.

I'll wait.

Correction: $7M oops, finishing third behind two B movies that both made over twice as much.
