  • From The Times and The Sunday Times, this is the story.

  • I'm Luke Jones.

  • It's Friday the 30th of January and I am in Times Square.

  • It is minus 12 today with a wind chill of minus 18.

  • And it's very story and I'm surrounded by lots of tourists and flashing billboards.

  • Megan Agnew is a senior features writer for the Sunday Times out in the US.

  • It's not the normal way I'd spend first thing on a Friday morning in the depths of icy,

  • icy winter, but let's see, I need to go inside.

  • She's off to the cinema on Company Dollar.

  • She's one of the first showings of Melania Trump's new feature documentary.

  • It's called Melania.

  • I'm certainly intrigued as to what the movie is like.

  • I'm kind of expecting something similar to the trailer, I think.

  • Cinematic, well-cut, sort of big Hollywood vibes to the whole thing.

  • The First Lady is producing in it, starring in it,

  • has been involved in edits and marketing, apparently.

  • I'm looking at the Melania limited edition black and white popcorn.

  • box that you can get from Regal Cinemas and I've just seen one being purchased by a fellow cinema grower,

  • £12.99 for an enormous bucket of popcorn first thing in the morning on Friday.

  • But it's Amazon MGM who are forking out $75 million for the pleasure.
