The movie “Melania” is a new theatrical release tied to the Trump era and is playing in select major chains across the US and some international circuits, but exact “near me” listings depend on your specific city or ZIP code and I can’t see your precise location.

Below is a quick, SEO‑style guide you can use to find where Melania is playing near you, plus a bit of forum flavor and context.

🎬 First: How to find showtimes near you

Because I don’t have your exact location, you’ll need to plug in your city or ZIP on a ticketing site.

Use any of these:

  1. Fandango
    • Go to the Melania (2026) page.
 * Enter your ZIP or allow location.
 * It will list theaters near you and showtimes, and let you buy tickets.
  1. AMC Theatres
    • Open the AMC Melania movie page.
 * Click “Find a theater” or “Get Tickets”, then enter your location.
 * Shows all nearby AMC locations that are actually running _Melania_.
  1. IMDb Showtimes
    • IMDb has a Melania – Showtimes & tickets page with a “nearby theaters” section that auto-fills based on location.
 * You’ll see a list like:
   * LOOK Dine-In cinemas
   * Cinemark and AMC locations
   * Regal sites in some metro areas.
  1. Marcus Theatres (Midwest-heavy)
    • If you’re in the Midwest or certain Southern states, Marcus Theatres has a dedicated Melania page.
 * Scroll their _Melania_ listing to see locations such as:
   * Addison Cinema (IL), Arnold Cinema (MO), Bay Park Cinema (WI), Bloomington Cinema + IMAX (IL), and many others.
  1. Local / regional chains
    • In Europe (for example in Germany and some UK/Irish markets), Melania is appearing on sites like Vue / CinemaxX.
 * Use your local cinema’s website search for “Melania” and check dates around its late‑January 2026 release.

🗓 Release timing and what to look for

  • Melania is positioned as a theatrical release, with trailers from Amazon MGM and Imagine Cinemas pegging it to late January 2026.
  • Some chains list it in “Coming Soon” or just rolling into showtimes around January 30, 2026, so if you don’t see it yet, check:
    • Friday–Thursday schedules (many chains publish each Wednesday).
* “Next week” or “Future dates” on the calendar picker.

If you search and don’t see it on your usual multiplex’s site, it may simply not be booked there—distribution looks selective rather than wall‑to‑wall wide.

🧵 Forum chatter: are theaters actually playing it?

On movie‑worker forums, there’s already a lot of talk about whether Melania is worth the screen space:

  • Some employees say their locations skipped it entirely, even “in the heart of Trump country.”
  • Others say their theaters planned to play it but dropped it when they had a hotter, more in‑demand title that needed extra screens.
  • There’s skepticism that the movie is more of a tax write‑off / vanity project than a crowd‑pleaser, and that attendance is soft.

This lines up with the pattern you’re likely to see: a patchwork of bookings instead of every theater in town picking it up.

“We’re in North Dakota and we’re not even going to play it.”

🎥 What Melania actually is

  • It’s presented as an “intimate chronicle” of Melania Trump , focusing on her life as First Lady and her dynamic with Donald Trump.
  • One synopsis frames it around “unprecedented access to the 20 days leading up to the 2025 Presidential Inauguration — through her eyes.”
  • Trailers are branded under Amazon MGM Studios , stressing that it’s a prestige‑style political portrait rather than a campaign ad.

Given Donald Trump’s current presidency (reelected in 2024), the movie is dropping right as people are re‑arguing the Trump era in real time, which is part of why it’s trending so hard online.

🌐 Quick step‑by‑step: “Where is the movie Melania playing near me?”

Use this checklist to nail down your closest showings:

  1. Open:
    • Fandango’s MELANIA (2026) page.
 * Or AMC’s _Melania_ page if you have nearby AMC locations.
  1. Enter your:
    • ZIP code (US/Canada) or
    • City name + country (elsewhere).
  2. Check for:
    • Same‑day showtimes and “Next 3 days”.
    • Friday openings and “Coming Soon” tabs around late January 2026.
  1. If nothing shows:
    • Try Marcus Theatres if you’re in the Midwest / central US; search “Melania” on their list of cinemas.
 * Try your local chain’s website directly and search “Melania”.
  1. If still nothing appears:
    • It likely isn’t booked in your immediate area yet; plan on:
      • A longer drive to the nearest big chain that lists it, or
      • Waiting for a streaming window on Amazon‑linked platforms later in 2026 (very likely, given Amazon MGM’s role).

🔚 TL;DR

Melania is playing in select big‑chain theaters (AMC, Marcus, various dine‑in and regional chains), but not everywhere, and I can’t see your exact location to pinpoint your closest screen.

Use Fandango or AMC’s Melania page, punch in your ZIP, and check listings for the next week—if your local multiplex has it, it will show up there with exact times and ticket links.
