Any empty seats?

Two films premiered recently, the British one "Finding Harmony: A King's Vision" at Windsor Castle, to a room full of celebrities and dignitaries whereas the American one, "Melania," was shown initially at the White House to viewers including Trump staff and Mike Tyson, and it will be officially premiered at the Kennedy Centre. That venue may be hard to find as someone has graffitied it with Donald Trump's name as well.

Both could be considered niche documentaries but as the American late night comedians that Trump hates have shown, there are still plenty of seats available to see "Melania," even some theatres where every seat is still available.

It will be interesting to see how much money "Melania" makes given it cost about $75 million in rights and publicity although exact values are hard to get.

A note to the other approximately 190 countries in the world, if you want to make a documentary about your leaders and their families you might want to do some audience research to gauge interest before you spend 50+ million dollars.

If you are worried about missing the opportunity to see the "Melania" film you could include it in a trip to Australia as my local cinema has it on in a 100-seat theatre and there are still 99 seats available on Saturday.
