Amazon Pressures Oregon Theater After Melania Marquee Jokes Prompt Pull

Amazon reportedly asked the Lake Theater and Cafe in Lake Oswego, Oregon to stop screening the Melania documentary after the theater’s marquee jokes drew attention. The theater then altered the marquee to say Amazon called, their marquee made them mad, and all Melania showings were cancelled, urging viewers to support at Whole Foods instead. The owner said the decision came from corporate executives rather than public backlash, noting the film had recently had strong nationwide numbers. Amazon had no immediate comment.
