Melania Trump’s $57 million documentary on track to bomb at the box office

A new movie is coming out starring one of the world's most famous people, but it doesn't seem like anyone cares. Amazon's MGM Studios shelled out $57 million for the rights to Melania, a documentary about First Lady Melania Trump. But days before its release, Australian audiences appear completely disinterested. Melania Trump in the upcoming documentary.

At three cinemas in Melbourne, nobody has reserved a seat. Two tickets have been sold at a fourth. Most people don't buy movie tickets several days ahead of time, so the true reception won't be known until Friday. But a lack of pre-sales does indica...

US sending ICE unit to Winter Olympics for security, prompting concern in Italy

News that a unit of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would be present during the upcoming Winter Games has set off concern and confusion in Italy, where people have expressed outrage at the inclusion of an agency that has dominated headlines for leading the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

Trump says government will ‘de-escalate’ in Minnesota following Pretti shooting

Getty Images President Donald Trump said his administration was "going to de-escalate a little bit" in Minnesota, after the second fatal shooting of a US citizen by federal immigration officers there.
