Melania Trump earned a large sum of money from a documentary about herself, although the film failed at the box office and did not provide the expected profits.
This information was published in Donald Trump's financial report, Unilad writes.
Mixed reviews and box office failure
A documentary about the first lady, simply titled "Melania," opened in theaters in January of this year to mixed reviews. Critics panned the film, while audiences responded much more positively. This shift is best illustrated by Rotten Tomatoes, where the film has about 10 percent positive reviews from critics, but 99 percent positive reviews from audiences.
However, the positive reviews from viewers were not enough to prevent commercial failure. The film earned an estimated $16.6 million in worldwide revenue. According to available data, the production was supported by Amazon MGM with a contract worth approximately $40 million, while an additional $35 million was spent on marketing.
After the release of Donald Trump's financial report, it was revealed how much Melania personally earned from the project. It is a sum of more than $ 10 million, which comes from licensing her character to the film's producers. According to NBC News, this information is in Trump's 927-page financial report.
Trump defended the film despite everything
Despite the poor results, Donald Trump declared in February that it was a "very successful film" and called Melania a "big movie star."
"I always say it's a problem, because you can't have two stars in a family. I told her we can't have two stars in a family," Trump said at the time, according to People.
"The theaters are packed," he added. "Women in particular are coming back to see the film two, three, even four times."
