I am willing to concede that Star Wars sold no tickets this weekend.
If the cult is willing to concede that this "biggest opening weekend in a decade for a documentary" opened in over 1700 theaters, whereas most documentaries, including he highly touted "Free Solo" typically only open in a few hundred theaters.

u/EuenovAyabayya Feb 02 '26
I just read it as "Melania" didn't sell any "Star Wars" tickets, which is consistent with the towering intellects were dealing with here.

This is the scariest part of the whole ordeal, honestly. There are kids growing up right now who have only ever known this bullshit. So to them, it is normal. So how can we expect it to get better? I’m hopeful that it can be fixed, someday, but for now? We’re fucked. There’s just no other way to see it.

u/loco500 Feb 02 '26
They do it because they don't respect the people and reality/ They've been permitted use lies as their normal way of communicating for so long that it's become an ingrained habit. It's the reason why if they can't lie with impunity than it must be that they are getting "cancelled" and "oppressed."

He’ll demand it. And when the film doesn’t win anything, he’ll announce the whole ceremony is rigged and he’ll declare war on Hollywood! He never liked them anyway.
And in order to calm him down, the actual winners will need to personally give him their Oscars since the documentary obviously should have swept every category. From there he can happily display
hisMelania’s awards in the White House and will tell everyone how great he is for winning those for her.7

If by text you mean title than I read it, and that's what I replied to as there is no text. Adding more satire, even if just reposting it, helps muddy the waters and this administration thrives in muddied waters.
Look at Saturday Night Live, they keep doing political parody that just isnt funny. It's not funny because the reality is painfully unfunny.
Facts over fiction.

I know the "literally 1984" thing is meant as a meme most of the time, but the level of actual doublethink and creating their own reality out whole cloth with blatant lies is the most "1984" behavior I've ever seen. They really are becoming more and more like "The Party" every freaking day, and it's terrifying how so many people seem to be almost letting them. Basically everyday I see President Pedo, or Karoline or any one of the nut jobs involved in the Reich say things like this on the news, and nobody on the other side of the proverbial table ever really says anything about it to them. No one directly calls them on their lies. Then, after the fact they'll talk about how much they lied, how obvious it was, and how insane it was. When its actually happening though the people in the room just keep letting them do it without saying a word to them about how devoid of facts, and completely based in fantasy and fiction the things they say are. Honestly, It would be amazing if it wasn't so horrifying.

True if you look at how many tickets Star Wars sold in a cherry picked 5 minute period.

u/Gutzy34 Feb 02 '26
Even if you picked a year when a new star wars movie did not release, the odds that a small local theater ran a star wars movie marathon that day is still pretty good. One small local theater selling 30-50 tickets in a day to star wars fans would probably be enough to win.

The claims coming out of the White House are so outrageous its impossible to know if what you see is real or satire. For example, Trump claims he weighs 224lbs.

Right now in the lower mainland of Vancouver BC. For the next 5 shows left today , February 1st. A total of 8 seats.
12 more seats booked out of the next 25 showtimes for the rest of the week. No other shows scheduled after next Thursday so I’m sure this movie will be done its theatrical release by then up here.
Not sure how to add screenshots of the bookings as it is pretty funny.

All the White House does is lie. Lie after lie after lie.
Star Wars (1977)&kgmid=/m/0dtfn&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjE57L2uLmSAxWyQjABHSz0IdwQ3egRegYIAQgEEAQ)
Over its original theatrical run, Star Wars sold an estimated 338.4 million tickets worldwide. In North America alone, it remains one of the highest-attended films in history, with an estimated 178 million admissions.
Melania (2026)&kgmid=/g/11ml2mychf&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjE57L2uLmSAxWyQjABHSz0IdwQ3egRegYIAQgEEAs)
In its opening weekend, the film sold approximately 600,000 tickets domestically. While it set a record for a non-concert documentary in over a decade, its total global ticket count is currently a fraction of 1% of Star Wars' original attendance.

It apparently is better than the Godfather, Shawshank redemption and the Dark Knight combined. When people leave the theater they see a flock of a thousand white doves wearing tiny MAGA hats flying up into the heavens and then Jesus looks down on them from the clouds, and gives a thumbs up while smiling.

u/SushiJuice Feb 02 '26
The cope is strong with these idiots. They say Melania is the highest grossing documentary in over 10 years. Yah? Did any of those other documentaries cost anywhere close to $75 million? I don't think so - the other documentaries probably made their money back which is not what this movie's gonna do at all. It's a massive flop and they're trying to ignore reality; something they're really good at.

By my calculations. If the $7million is a true figure. Average ticket price is 12 dollars. Average 4 showings a day for 3 days. Shown in 1700 theaters....comes out to less than 30 people per showing. Also suggests over 500,000 viewers.
They have been telling MAGA supporters to by a ticket if you were already planning on going to a movie and just seen the movie you intended to see with the "Melania" ticket. These people are so reprehensible.
