Friday is the general release of the documentary Melania, a film about President Donald Trump’s third wife and first lady of the United States. The trailer for Melania appears to largely feature the first lady traipsing around various grand rooms in sunglasses. While it seems relatively easy to find an empty screening of Melania, WIRED reporters have taken the extra step and identified two screenings in the United States—out of nearly 1,400 we reviewed—that have sold out for Friday. From there, WIRED identified 1,398 Melania showtimes listed for those theaters on Fandango, a ticket-buying website. During the course of WIRED’s review, showtimes for Melania at the Mann Plymouth Grand 15 theater in Minnesota appeared to have been canceled.
