The feature-length profile of Melania Trump, the wife of US President Donald Trump, took £32,974 (€38,168) at the UK and Ireland box office on its opening weekend - less than a re-release of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
The authorised profile of the president's wife, titled simply Melania, focuses on the 20 days leading up to her husband's return to the White House in January 2025.

The Amazon MGM Studios film, which is just under two hours long, documents Melania Trump's world as she navigates through the White House transition, including moving her family back to Washington DC as she prepares to return to the role of First Lady.
The film opened at 155 cinemas, averaging £213 (€245) at each site, and ranked 29th in the highest-grossing releases from 30 January to 1 February, according to data released by the British Film Institute (BFI).
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King took £215,804 (€249,797) across 169 cinemas and ranked 14th.
The film with the highest box office takings in the UK and Ireland last weekend was Hamnet, which grossed £1.41 million (€1.63 million) - around 42 times the figure for Melania.

Hamnet, starring Irish actors Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, has now taken £14.84 million (€17.17 million) in the UK and Ireland over its four weeks on release.
The Melania documentary was met with less-than-positive reviews, including zero stars from The Guardian.
It was described by The Telegraph as a "branding exercise" rather than a documentary with "North Korea-style propaganda with a dash of Ralph Lauren".
The New York Times said it was "a very circumscribed and carefully stage-managed chronicle" of the days leading up to Mr Trump's second inauguration.
