Melania Trump hosted a black-tie sneak preview of her Amazon MGM Studios film at the White House on Saturday night, sources told Page Six.
Sources said that the expected guest list for the Brett Ratner-directed documentary, which opens Jan. 30, included husband President Trump and son Barron, Queen Rania of Jordan, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Erika Kirk, AMD CEO Lisa Su, GE CEO Larry Culp, Amazon’s Andy Jassy and Mike Hopkins, Melania’s exclusive senior advisor Marc Beckman, venture capitalist Jim Breyer, producer Fernando Sulichin, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan, James Packer, fotog Ellen von Unwerth and more.
We hear that it marked the first time President Trump saw the full film — in advance of a Jan. 29 plan to premiere the project in Washington, DC.
The movie will debut in 20 markets at the same time before theatrically opening in 30 territories around the world, we previously reported.
We hear that guests entered to a military band playing a tune from the film’s score, called “Melania’s Waltz,” as well as other iconic movie music.
There were limited edition popcorn buckets, and a black-and-white theme at the event that was put together by Melania herself, a spy told us.
Guests also received a limited edition version of the First Lady’s book, “Melania,” plus a framed, collectable screening ticket, and even cookies for the road.
Also expected at the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue cocktail reception and screening, we hear, were Mike Tyson, branding exec Peter Arnell, Journey rocker Jonathan Cain, auto heiress Azzi Agnelli and Frankie Lagrange, Tony Robbins, TikToker Link Lauren, fashion designer Adam Lippes, Herve Pierre, Tam Kannalikham and New York Stock Exchange president Lynn Martin.
Melania is scheduled to ring the NYSE bell this week as part of the push for the project that was bought for $40 million.
A source told us the she aimed to invite a group of “cultural iconoclasts” to her White House event.
