Considering the film cost $75 million and only grossed $17 million at the box office, this is probably the biggest money-loser in the history of documentary films.
How did "Malaria The Movie" perform against other well known documentary films?

Correction: 'Malaria the Movie' is not even going to hit the $17 million threshold in gross ticket sales. It's going whimper to a close of about $16.6 million in gross ticket sales.'Malaria The Movie' was completely outperformed at the box office by documentaries about penguins, global warming, orphaned orangutans, and school shootings.
Documentary Film $ Gross adjusted to 2026 dollars March of the Penguins $221 million Bowling for Columbine $104 million An Inconvenient Truth $80 million Born to be Wild $68 million Malaria, The Movie $17 million
Al Gore's documentary on global warming grossed almost 5X as much $ as the Malaria documentary (on an inflation adjusted basis).
A 2005 documentary about penguins grossed more than 13X the $ as the documentary on Malaria.
This was never about profit. This was about bribing the Pedo President for lucrative government contracts.
The Trump administration is the most corrupt in the history of all JPP members.
Filling the swamp!
Trump is filling it pretty fast this term.
Is it because he now knows how to beat the system or because he knows he's dying and is trying to fill his pockets before he goes?

And with that the magat and Trump focus will switch to pressuring for this craptastic movie to get an Oscar or other awards.
You can pin this and bump it when they do.
There is no malaria the movie..
Wow what a brilliant observation!
I doubt they could afford the movie ticket or have Prime.
They are complaining a concert ticket costs $75, I suppose they would have trouble paying a $16 movie ticket plus a $2.50 "convenience fee." The first time I saw a "convenience fee" on a movie ticket I was so angry, but now I am an "A Lister" at AMC, so no "convenience fees." $2.50 is not much, but it is the principle. They are charging us money beyond the cost to buy from them.
I haven't gone to theater in years in favor of a large screen tv, soundbar and multiple streaming services. All movies in the theaters today will be out on streaming in 6-12 months....or, if they're bombs like Melania, 6 weeks. LOL
Another option which I've never used is to "rent" a movie on streaming. There's plenty to watch until the movie in question is available on the regular streaming service.
I am a dinosaur who still likes going to movies in theaters. Besides, you can drink before the movie(not to much, but a little), go to the movie, and be sober to drive home after the movie
I can drink at home and eat less greasy popcorn.
BTW, two movies both my wife and I've been waiting to see are out on streaming this month: "Is this thing on" (Hulu) and "Song Sung Blue" (Peacock).
Your numbers are fucked; Michael Moore's bullshit grossed $ 58 million , not $104....and that's just them first one I checked.
I can safely assume you are posting madeup bullshit across the board, per usual.
"Melania" is killing it on Amazon livestream, which is how most Americans (etal) see films.
Choke on it.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" grossed over $222.4 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing documentary of all time at the time of its release. It earned approximately $119.2 million domestically and around $103.3 million in foreign markets.
At a cost of $4M in 2002. That's $54M profit....in 2002. Adjusted for inflation due to Trump's economy, that's $105M.
