Melania documentary struggles in UK cinemas as Vue admits sales are ‘soft’

-
Only one ticket sold for premiere of film about US first lady at Vue’s flagship London branch as insiders question launch strategy As film exhibitor strategies go, counter-programming is one of the most reliable. It worked for The Dark Knight and Mamma Mia!, released in the US on the same day in 2008, as well as for Dunkirk and Girls Trip in 2017 . In 2023, Barbie and Oppenheimer leveraged the tactic to the tune of $2.5bn in combined box office takings. This week we could see another example as Amazon releases its authorised documentary about Melania Trump in more than 100 UK cinemas. There it will compete against an already-eclectic slate of releases including the Jason Statham action film Shelter, the ape horror Primate , Bradley Cooper’s comedy-drama Is This Thing On? and Richard Linklater’s Jean-Luc Godard fictionalisation Nouvelle Vague .

He’s already started mourning their relationship: Prince William can’t forgive brother Harry

-
At the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Prince William showed their strained relationship to the world. Some sources claim that the sons of Princess Diana mutually do not want to communicate with each other. Still, in fact, only one person in the royal family is against their reconciliation. A close friend of the future King of Great Britain told the Daily Mail that William is willing but unable to forgive Harry because of the pain he has brought to Prince Charles and Elizabeth II. "The discord with his brother hit William so hard that he already began to mourn their relationship. So he either mourns that he lost his brother, then he is furious at what Harry did," said the insider. "People don't understand that William, to some extent, became Harry's parent. He was the eldest, always trying to save him from the abyss. He genuinely loves Harry and feels like he's lost the only person who understood their strange life in the palace. But he believes that there are things that simply cannot be done. And Harry 100% crossed that line," he added. Asked if William plans to reconnect with Harry, the anonymous person said: "It's hard to answer. The truth is, they need to find common ground again. But for this, both must admit their guilt and it is pretty evident that one of them categorically refuses to do this. Some members of William's circle say he is "protecting" his younger brother and "will always keep the door open for him." One said: 'Harry has always had concerns about life within the royal family and the pressure that was put on him and William to live and work together because some kind of dynamic couple had their relationship. But there was a lot of stress. They had no place to breathe. But Meghan complicated it.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
