According to NPR, ticket buyers were 75% white, 70% women, and 72% 55 or older.
A lot of these, the bulk of these tickets were being purchased in the areas that you mentioned, Bob, markets like Dallas, Orlando, Tampa, Phoenix, Houston, Atlanta, West Palm Beach.
I mean, I'm looking right now on Rotten Tomatoes and seeing a 99% fan rating and only a 5% critics rating.
Sometimes people will do things like review bomb.
Right.
So that might account for some things on Rotten Tomatoes.
But also, though, given all of these things, is it fair even to call this documentary?
Like, where does it sit on the line between fan service and propaganda?
I will say, when they pulled off the candlelit dinner at the National Building Museum, which actually is a fab, having lived in D.C.
in the past, it's a fab place for a fancy party.
But, you know, thinking about the Amazon of it all, Alison, what do you think โ
The point is for Amazon to partner with the administration to make this film.
Yeah, I mean, I have, there's so many things rolling in my head from Bezos owning the Washington Post to the Amazon Prime deal with Melania for this documentary, to also the fact that Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos's wife, has been, you know, seen hitting some of the biggest fashion shows in the world with Law Roach, for
famed celebrity stylist, and Anna Wintour, who isn't just the head of Conde Nast globally from an editorial perspective, but she also has been one of the biggest and most influential donors and supporters of the Democratic Party.
So I'm just kind of looking at everything like, what is going on?
What is this culture play that we're seeing from Jeff Bezos, at the very least, if not Amazon?
It's just an example of how so much of this moment can be confusing.
And as a public, we're witnesses to just a sliver of the lives of the rich and powerful and their business dealings.
And that we only get glimpses, you know, these really curated glimpses into how they want to be seen.
You know, for Bezos, this seems like maybe a strategic culture move.
