Exclusive: White House Advisor Pushed Bulk Sales for Melania Movie

Bulk sales of the new documentary Melania: Twenty Days to History are being promoted through emails from the National Faith Advisory Board (NFAB), a faith coalition led by Paula White-Cain, who also served as a senior advisor in the White House Faith Office. The film had a $7 million opening weekend.

The message encourages supporters to purchase group tickets and private theater buyouts, directing them to a custom sales portal which offers private screenings for groups of more than 30 people. Recipients are encouraged to watch the movie to "support our first lady," because "supporting this film is about standing up for grace over the noise, dignity over distortion, and for the truth.”

The message then provided a link to purchase "a group of tickets" or to set up "private screenings." The customer service email for the group sales page has an Amazon domain, the same company that paid nearly $75 million to acquire and promote the movie.

A FAQ page indicates that buying out a showing of Melania varies but can "typically range from $1,500–$3,000” with "final quotes come directly from the theater." Private screening implies that the theater is empty except for the party intending to watch the movie. In order for this to happen, seats are paid for and count toward box office sales, yet could remain empty.

2. Stephen Cheung must have written the email. I thought Paula White can only speak in tongues.

Come to think of it, so does Melania.

3. I knew it. This stinker of big money ticket buys.

Much more under the cover of the "pay-it-forward" like for Sound of Freedom.

4. They always do that with their bogus book sales

so they shoot to the top of the "NYT Best Sellers" list.

One of their oldest tricks in the book.

12. Looking at the local

Regal theater, most showings before 8PM have almost all seats sold. The sidewalks are rolled up here before 9PM. The sold seats are in odd patterns. Entire rows sold with one seat on the end not sold. Entire screenings sold out except for a couple of seats in the middle. 75% of seats sold, all together in the middle with the only open seats around the edges. If these sold seats are to be filled it looks like the people are co-workers or part of some group.
