Marquee joke prompts Amazon to pull Melania screenings in Lake Oswego

A Lake Oswego theater canceled screenings of the Melania documentary after Amazon objected to a marquee joke based on a Sun Tzu quote. The theater had promoted the film with the line “TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY, YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA STARTS FRIDAY,” which Amazon reportedly did not find funny. The marquee was later updated with a different joke about the screenings being canceled. The documentary, which cost about $40 million for rights and roughly $35 million for marketing and debuted with about $7 million in ticket sales, will still stream on Prime Video after its theatrical run, and the theater plans to resume with other films next week.

Amazon Pulls Melania Doc From Oregon Theater After Marquee Jokes Backfire

Amazon reportedly asked an Oregon theater to stop screening the documentary Melania after the venue advertised it with witty marquee lines. The Lake Theater & Café in Lake Oswego changed its marquee to say Melania showings were cancelled and urged audiences to support at Whole Foods, and the theater’s manager said Amazon called to pull the film. The venue sold about $196 in tickets in its single weekend, despite the documentary’s strong national performance. Local backlash followed, and the theater’s owner attributed the decision to a corporate executive rather than audience reaction, with Amazon declining comment.
