Kennedy Center Melania Doc Premiere Plays to a Restricted Press
TL;DR
At a Kennedy Center premiere for Melania's documentary, mainstream outlets were barred from the screening, with only a handful of invited reporters admitted. Melania and select Trump administration officials attended, alongside the film’s director and producer. Amazon MGM Studios reportedly spent about $40 million to acquire rights and more on marketing; the film opens Jan. 30 amid scrutiny of press access and crew credits.
