Melania Trump hosts White House black‑tie preview of her Amazon MGM film

Melania Trump hosted a black‑tie sneak preview of her Amazon MGM Studios film at the White House on Saturday night, sources told Pagesix.

Sources said the expected guest list for the Brett Ratner‑directed documentary, which opens Jan. 30, included President Trump and son Barron, Queen Rania of Jordan, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Erika Kirk, AMD CEO Lisa Su, GE CEO Larry Culp, Amazon’s Andy Jassy and Mike Hopkins, Melania’s senior advisor Marc Beckman, venture capitalist Jim Breyer, producer Fernando Sulichin, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan, James Packer, photographer Ellen von Unwerth, Mike Tyson and others. Guests entered to a military band playing a tune from the film’s score called “Melania’s Waltz” and other iconic movie music; there were limited‑edition popcorn tubs and a black‑and‑white theme put together by Melania herself, a spy told us. Attendees also received a limited‑edition version of the First Lady’s book "Melania," a framed collectible screening ticket and cookies for the road.

We hear the screening marked the first time President Trump saw the full film, in advance of a Jan. 29 plan to premiere the project in Washington, DC. The film will debut Jan. 29 in 20 markets, open Jan. 30 and later reach theaters in 30 territories; Melania is scheduled to ring the NYSE bell this week as part of the push for the project that was bought for $40 million.
