A theater in northwestern Oregon said that Amazon has pulled the new "Melania" movie from screening after its marquee offered its own description of the film.
The Lake Theater & Cafe in Lake Oswego, located eight miles south of Portland, is known for crafting witty, creative descriptions of its films on its sign, and the "Melania" movie was no exception.
For the documentary centered on First Lady Melania Trump, the local business's marquee read: "Does Melania wear Prada? Find out Friday' and — quoting Sun Tzu’s 'The Art of War' — 'To defeat your enemy, you must know them. Melania starts Friday.'"
In a Feb. 2 Instagram post, the theater revealed that Amazon MGM Studios contacted them, saying they were "upset with how our marquee marketed their movie" and that the tech giant decided the film would no longer screen there after Sunday, Feb 8.
The marquee was later updated to read: "Amazon called our marquee, made them mad all Melania shows canceled show your support at Whole Foods instead :(."
