Having low expectations without actually saying so

There are signs of “fake ticket sales” in order to inflate the earnings associated with the Melania documentary. Essentially, tickets were bought in bulk and handed out free to audiences.

Hmmm...🤔

I saw an article about that here:

🔥🚨 BREAKING - After Impressive $1 Million Monday Box Office Haul, Amazon MGM Expanding ‘Melania’ into 200 More Theaters.

“We now have one of the highest openings for a documentary film in 14 years, and we’re quickly expanding into more theater houses across the country."

“It’s all a testament to Melania Trump and her leadership in creating a quality product for the American people.” - First Lady’s Senior Advisor, Marc Beckman

Their "fake ticket sales" might be working.

They probably will. It wouldn't be that hard to do. And don't forget, they've got to make at least $75M just to break even.

Spending tens of millions to make that.... LOL

Sounds like Bidenomics...
