WORLD PREMIER OF MELANIA HITS CINEMAS

Today is the day America has been waiting for.

After months of anticipation — and an early, invitation-only premiere at the Trump/Kennedy Center that drew reviews unparalleled since Citizen Kane and The Godfather — Melania officially opens nationwide, and the response has already shattered every known benchmark in modern film history.

Lines outside theaters early this morning are being described as “unprecedented,” “historic,” and “larger than anything Marvel could ever dream of.” Longtime moviegoers say even decades of Star Wars releases are now being quietly dwarfed by the sheer scale of crowds forming across the country.

And it’s only seven o’clock in the morning.

In several locations, moviegoers began lining up overnight, some camping in folding chairs and sleeping bags, others wrapped in blankets beneath a sea of red MAGA hats stretching around shopping centers and down adjoining roads.

At the Midway Shopping Center in Rehoboth Beach, DE, organizers scheduled a special overnight screening inside the Cube, anticipating heavy demand. What they did not anticipate was the scale. By early morning hours, Delaware State Police were reportedly called in to shut down the highway for miles in each direction as traffic backed up from ticket demand alone.

“It just kept growing,” said one theater employee. “Every time we thought that was it, more people showed up.”

President Trump weighed in early this morning, praising the turnout and criticizing the media for what he called a deliberate refusal to report the truth.

“These are crowds like nobody’s ever seen before,” the President said. “Beautiful crowds. Huge crowds. I’ve seen a lot of crowds — nobody’s ever pulled in crowds like this for a movie. The mainstream media won’t tell you about it, but it’s true. It’s very true. They don’t want to talk about it because they know what it means.”

The film, conceived and championed by Melania Trump herself, is already being hailed by supporters as the work of a visionary — a First Lady whose creative instincts anticipated a cultural hunger Americans didn’t yet know how to articulate.

“People have been waiting for this for decades,” said one attendee in line. “Even before they knew who she was, they knew they needed this.”

Industry insiders say the film’s success has forced studios to quietly reconsider what audiences actually want, with several executives privately acknowledging that traditional franchises may never recover.

Early reports indicate a sequel is already in development. According to sources close to the production, Melania2: The First 20 Days will be filmed on location at a federal Supermax prison, chronicling what insiders describe as “the next chapter in an American story audiences are demanding to see.”
