$MELANIA movie is reported to be a failure for analysts. However, on the other hand, the Melania movie project team likely knew about this from the beginning.

Future historians will not look at Rotten Tomatoes scores. They will seek sources that show how Melania Trump wanted to be seen by the world in 2026.

As this film has direct access and interviews with the subject, it becomes an authentic source regarding her perspective.

In the future, when people want to study this era, this film will be shown as a primary reference for understanding the narrative from the Trump family's side.

Unlike in the past when failed films would disappear and be hard to find, this film is owned by Amazon.

Amazon does not need this film to just "sell" tickets. They likely need this film to be in their library catalog forever as a long-term asset.

This film will continue to be available for anyone who wants to watch it, whether in 5, 10, or 20 years. This guarantees "continuous" access availability.

Melania Trump is a very unique First Lady figure in US history (a former model, immigrant, wife of a president who was elected twice non-consecutively). This unique profile ensures that biographies about her will always be sought after by researchers, students, or political observers in the future, regardless of the cinematic quality of the film.

"Success" can mean long-term relevance. Although current film critics may dislike it, this film will almost certainly become a lasting historical artifact due to its position as an official document of one of the most famous figures of this century.
