From Fox News: A theater in Oregon claimed Amazon asked it to stop screening the film “Melania” after the theater joked about the movie on its marquee while promoting the release. The Lake Theater & Café in Lake Oswego, Oregon, advertised the film using lines referencing the first lady.
First reported by The Oregonian, the marquee included references such as, “To defeat your enemy, you must know them. Melania starts Friday,” a quote attributed to Sun Tzu, author of “The Art of War.” Another line read, “Does Melania wear Prada? Find out Friday.”
The theater later took to Instagram to announce that someone from Amazon had contacted them, saying the studio was unhappy with the marketing and wanted the film pulled from the cinema.
In an Instagram post, the theater announced, “Got a call that the higher ups (i.e., at Amazon) were upset with how our marquee marketed their movie (i.e., Melania), that, per them, Sunday would be its last day here.”
