It was also stated, though no names were given, that several UFC and NFL stars would travel to the nation’s capital to view the film.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., FBI Director Kash Patel, border czar Tom Homan, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz are also confirmed to be in attendance.

It was reported that the first lady seemingly experienced a humiliating flop at the box office, as critics predicted, after a theater in a major northeast city saw minuscule sales ahead of the documentary\u2019s Friday opening day. A viral Tuesday X post shows that no tickets for the documentary <\/a>had been bought for the 10:30 p.m. showing on the website for Boston\u2019s largest theater, AMC Boston Common 19.<\/p>\n

Out of four showings for Friday, scheduled at 2:15 p.m., 5:00 p.m., 7:45 p.m.,<\/a> and 10:30 p.m., only 7 tickets were bought online so far. X users were quick to comment on the lack of ticket sales, with some international users comparing notes.<\/p>\n

\u201cNone sold in Liverpool for the opening day,\u201d a user wrote, adding a screenshot of a movie theater seat selection website.\u201cMy local cinema isn\u2019t showing it. Nearest is Green Bay, has sold one ticket,\u201d wrote another X user with a screenshot showing the Friday opening date and a 7:30 p.m. showing selection.<\/p>\n

The user also circled the singular selected seat in a theater with about 100 seats. \u201cAll available in Dublin for peak time as well. It\u2019s on the tiniest screen,\u201d wrote another X user.<\/p>\n
