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.

WIRED analyzed 1,398 Melania showtimes across 329 theaters near 64 US cities and found only two screenings sold out on opening day—12:55 pm at AMC CLASSIC Indian River 24 in Vero Beach, FL, and 1 pm at AMC Independence Commons 20 in Independence, MO—despite heavy promotion and Amazon MGM Studios’ roughly $75 million in rights and marketing. Most showings had seats available, with some early screenings discounted. UK sales were also weak, and a Florida listing that briefly appeared sold out later showed two seats, highlighting limited nationwide demand for the documentary.
