I’m assuming the missing context here is that Star Wars (1977) opened in only 32 theaters and only made $1.5M opening weekend. It would expand to make $775M worldwide, on its $11M budget.
Melania opened in theaters everywhere. So far has made $7M on its $40M budget.

Is the humor.
That while she did not say it the context was mocking of the Movie
OR
She said it and the humor is her stupidity.
So hard to tell these days.

Meanwhile the theater in my town went bankrupt and closed down a few days ago. Coincidence?

Maybe it did, in a galaxy far away. Not on this planet.

The only way that is correct is if she means today. Today in 2026, when there are no star wars movies in theatres, Melania technically sold more tickets than star wars
Lefty5260 on
To be fair, she was talking about the previous day: Star Wars wasn’t being shown in the theater and sold 1 ticket. MELANIE movie sold 2. That’s twice as many says Lyin’ Barbie.

Trump bought all those tickets.

She is talking about Star Wars Holiday Special which didn’t release in theaters making her technically correct.

“We will be launching investigations into any theater that shows any movie other than malania’s”

A gifted spokeswoman she is Not. A Spokeswoman consumed with limited capabilities she excels at.
And Sean Spicer had to stand up and say that Trump’s 2016 inauguration crowd was larger then Obama’s. I don’t think Sean was smart enough to know that that was career death for him, and I’m not sure if karolyn is that smart either.

Noted they’re pulling that same scam they did on the child trafficking movie where churches buy tickets in bulk to appease their overlord so it looks like the movie is sold out. Either way for a $70 million movie to only make $7 million its first weekend pretty much solidifies it as a flop

Ticket sales are a matter of record, they actually believe MAGA won’t check and see she’s lying? Yeah that tracks
Melania plays to an empty room, and not just in theaters.

She was referring to the space based defense system proposed by Ronald Reagan, which grossed $0 in 0 theaters.
So Melania grossed more than Star Wars*!

This isn’t even worth responding to. The reviews of this “movie” say that it’s unique, in the sense that films rarely have no redeeming qualities, but this one doesn’t. It’s so bad, the reviews trashing it are better than the film itself.

It doesn’t make the film any better.

[That’s a very interesting choice of franchise to pick on](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4cVBVSS9fc).
….and they know this because they are the ones who bought all the tickets.
Which one, Karoline? And how many of them are there?
>A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY…
Naboo was under an attack
Did she change her name to Sean Spicer?
Last week maybe
And yet in my major city it’s all empty or one or two ppl per showing MAX. But mostly empty theaters. She lives in their “alternative facts” reality
Yeah…no.
She’s not wrong; when it came out on VHS because, wait, no tickets were sold when it came out on VHS….
Just like ‘Melania’ will be the highest recorded volume of at home viewed movies in Slovenia, in VHS…
Even the Star Wars holiday special was more successful than this garbage.
I don’t care. Do you?
Did she really say this ? I don’t think she knows lies from truth anymore so I would 100% believe she said this .
Doesn’t it bother anyone that they think so little of you that they’ll say things like this and expect you to believe them?
It’s so hard to tell whether a quote is fake or actual these days with these clowns in the white house.
