White House Hosts Private Screening of Amazon’s Melania Doc

The White House hosted a private East Room screening of Amazon-funded Melania, a Brett Ratner–directed documentary, on a snowy Saturday with about 70 VIP guests including Queen Rania, Tim Cook, and Eric Yuan. The black-tie event featured a military band, monogrammed popcorn tubs, commemorative tickets, and take-home cookies, and drew attention for the absence of major Trump officials amid ongoing political controversy surrounding ICE and protests. Melania posted after the event, and the film’s rollout includes a New York Stock Exchange opening bell appearance and a Kennedy Center premiere; THR published exclusive photos from the night.
