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 .

Three Years After Becoming Engaged, Sarah Hyland And Wells Adams Got Married

-
After being engaged for more than three years, Wells Adams and Sarah Hyland finally said "I do" on Saturday in California. The "Bachelorette" star, 38, and the actress, 31, finally made it to the aisle over the weekend after twice having to delay their big day. Sofia Vergara, 50, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, 46, Julie Bowen, 52, and Nolan Gould, 23, were among the co-stars of Hyland who joined the private wedding. Vergara took her 30-year-old son, Manolo Gonzalez, as her date, according to social media pictures from the celebrity-studded nuptials, which was held at a California vineyard. His husband, Justin Mikita, accompanied Ferguson in the interim. "Yay! Just…yay. Bowen posted a photo of herself with Gould and Ferguson took at what seemed to be a pre-wedding party, "I love my fake family. In October 2017, Hyland, who gained notoriety for her role as Haley Dunphy in the ABC sitcom, began dating the "Bachelor in Paradise" bartender. The couple was scheduled to exchange vows in August 2020 after he eventually proposed in July 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic delayed their wedding. On the day of their planned nuptials, Hyland posted a series to Instagram titled "A couple, an epidemic, & a delayed wedding." "Today was the day that we were to get married. Instead, we sipped wine and snapped photos. @wellsadams, you have my undying love. The "bridal shower of [her] dreams" took place back in June, and she eventually celebrated with her closest friends. She posted a picture of a bespoke clutch that said "Mrs. Adams" in gold lettering and the caption "Soooooo I officially had my bridal shower yesterday" to her Instagram Story at the time. She was joined by her "long time friend" Vanessa Hudgens, EDM producer GG Magree, "Grey's Anatomy" alum Kimberly Daugherty, Natalie Joy, the model fiancée of former "Bachelor" Nick Viall, actress Ashley Newbrough, and Mikita.

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...
