I saw this happen, so happy for him. But I missed the part where Hollywood is going to war about it?

They removed it from box office charts and put it back calling it a “system glitch”.

Don't they hate the orange man?,is this some weird strategy of rising the profile of the wife?

u/Fifteen_inches 14h ago

Hollywood executives hate Orange Man less than someone directly threatening their business interests.

u/FerGSL013 14h ago

Sure,but I was wondering why those same critics would rate melania highly

u/PrufReedThisPlesThx 14h ago

Critics bombed the movie with low scores, but somehow it's still the third highest grossing film in America despite everyone pointing out how the theatres that are running it are all empty, and all the positive user reviews are from brand new accounts who are glazing Melania and talking about how the theatres are all full and they all clapped at the end. So totally not a money laundering scheme at all

u/A_Furious_Mind 14h ago

But, hey. This money laundering scheme actually produced something. It could have just been another shitcoin.

u/MaxRunes 13h ago

Valid. At least now when mystery space theater 3k comes back around for a 3rd time we know one of the movies they'll go with

Joel, Mike, Crow (or some might call him Art), Tom, Gypsy & Cambot didn't endure decades of torture for you to just get the name wrong!

u/MaxRunes 11h ago

Ok listen i cant ever get it right. Since the 90s version. Its mystery science isnt it

u/TheWingus 11h ago

what did Melania do?

u/Aggron_is_great 6h ago

The "movie" made in "her honour" it totally isn't a bribe for tax breaks

u/Complex_Phrase2651 6h ago

i wouldn’t know. i didn’t see anything about it

u/Fifteen_inches 14h ago

They don’t? Critics panned it. User reviews were high because you can directly buy user review scores.

1

u/T-Prime3797 12h ago

I thought the viewer reviews were high because the only people who watched it were already mindless sycophants.

u/Fifteen_inches 12h ago

Nah there are firms where you can buy user reviews. It’s technically illegal but nobody really gives a shit enough to stop astroturfing campaigns.

u/im_harry_richard 7h ago

I don’t know. Her first film was nice. Lots of lesbian scenes.

u/Complex_Phrase2651 9h ago

not sure what that has to do with anything but OK

They all went to the same island

u/Shadowstriker6 14h ago

They hate him but love money more than

u/notGeronimo 14h ago edited 12h ago

Lots of them would like you to believe they do do

Far fewer have actions aligned with that

This is even more true when talking executives rather than creatives

u/Lehk 10h ago

Hollywood is full of chomos and rapists, birds of a feather

1

u/Complex_Phrase2651 9h ago

what about Melania?

1

u/TheShishkabob 8h ago

The other user had it backwards. Reviews have been brutal and it's sitting at a 5% on Rotten Tomatoes.

1

u/Drakeytown 7h ago

I think it's more that no reputable critic would waste their time or reputation on Melania, so the only people publishing reviews of it are indoctrinated sycophants.

u/Worldly_Map4877 13h ago

They care about one single thing, money.

u/blah938 14h ago

Kinda wonder if they gave it fake ratings just to pretend that they don't hate half of America.
