Jeff Bezos yanks ‘Melania’ documentary from Oregon theater after its manager gives people the one and only reason to watch it

A Lake Oswego movie theater, outside Portland, had the Melania doc pulled after the theater owner put something on the marquee that may have angered Jeff Bezos and Amazon Studios, the film’s backer.

According to The Oregonian, the Lake Theater & Cafe wrote on its marquee, in advance of showing the film, “To defeat your enemy, you must know them. Melania starts Friday.” The theater later wrote on Instagram, “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.”
