The documentary titled 'Melania', focusing on the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime after being released in theaters. It showcases the days leading up to the second inauguration of her husband, President Donald Trump. The film, which debuted in cinemas on January 30, achieved remarkable success, grossing $7 million in its opening weekend and setting a record for the best opening for a documentary in the past decade.

Despite a strong start, the film's box office interest waned over subsequent weeks, culminating in a total gross of $16.4 million, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. This showcases a typical pattern in documentary releases where initial interest may be high due to topical relevance but tends to decrease soon after. The documentary is directed by Brett Ratner, marking his return to directing since 2017.

Moreover, the film highlights a critical period of the Trump presidency, delving into Melania Trump's perspective and experiences during the 20 days leading up to her husband's swearing-in on January 20, 2025. As the documentary is now moving to a streaming platform, it may reach a wider audience, allowing for discussions about the portrayal of political figures in media and the ongoing relevance of the Trump presidency in current political discourse.
