Seat sales of Melania at Scotiabank Theatre for the 8:45 p.m. showing on Friday night. Cineplex<\/p>\nThe trailer for a new documentary from First Lady Melania Trump that hits theatres in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and across Canada today features the teaser line \u201cEveryone wants to know, so here it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
But if pre-sales of Melania in Toronto are any indication, we want to know about as much as we want more snow.<\/p>\n
As of 11:30 a.m., seat pre-sales at Cineplex\u2019s flagship downtown Toronto cinema at Richmond and John streets look dismal.<\/p>\n
Just a handful of seats have been snagged for today\u2019s first four screenings of the documentary at Scotiabank Theatre. For the 8:45 p.m. Friday night screening \u2014 usually a hot date night slot \u2014 just three seats have been reserved.<\/p>\n

Melania, which debuted at the Trump Kennedy Center on Thursday night, focuses on the 20 days leading up to the inauguration of President Donald Trump in 2025.<\/p>\n
The Cineplex website says the film offers \u201cunprecedented access\u201d to that time period through the eyes of the First Lady.<\/p>\n
\u201cStep inside Melania Trump\u2019s world as she orchestrates inauguration plans, navigates the complexities of the White House transition, and reenters public life with her family,\u201d the promotion reads. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith exclusive footage capturing critical meetings, private conversations, and never-before-seen environments, Mrs. Trump returns to one of the world\u2019s most powerful roles.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cineplex tells CityNews the film will be playing at four theatres in the GTA, but wouldn\u2019t comment on ticket sales.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a publicly traded company, we don\u2019t disclose specific numbers or insights around ticket sales,\u201d a spokesperson for the company said.<\/p>\n
Melania, produced by AmazonMGM Studios at a reported $40 million, will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video after its theatrical run.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s beautiful, it\u2019s emotional, it\u2019s fashionable, it\u2019s cinematic, and I\u2019m very proud of it,\u201d the 55-year-old First Lady said at the Trump Kennedy Center debut on Thursday.<\/p>\n
