Amazon did not allow talent to opt out of working on Melania for political reasons, a new report alleges.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and Mike Hopkins, who runs Amazon Studios, both attended a private screening of the documentary at the White House on Saturday.
“This has to be the most expensive documentary ever made that didn’t involve music licensing,” Ted Hope, who was instrumental in founding Amazon Studios, told the Times.
Despite spending heavily and having Melania, 55, promote the film through appearances on conservative media, the film is expected to be a box-office flop.
Some tracking firms, like Box Office Pro, project that Melania may earn as little as $1 million its opening weekend.
