Not a single ticket sale was lost

Frees up the screen for something useful. Like a stream of paint drying.

Theatre Owner: Oh thank fuck.

Sounds like they did it for the lols, made light fun of it in their promo material, and Amazon pulled the licensing.

“Mostly, I thought doing so would be funny. For some of you, that’s enough. Great! Otherwise… Financially, the film marketplace this week and next were a desert… So, to fill a screen, why not get this inexplicable vanity piece from the current president’s wife? I mean, it just seems so weird that it even exists (who wants a movie about Melania lol?), and wouldn’t it then be exponentially weirder, to the point of being funny, to show it here, at your obviously anti-establishment, occasionally troublemaking, neighborhood cinema?” Perry wrote.

The loss of the theatrical rights is attributed to the Lake Theater’s marquee messages for the documentary. These included: “DOES MELANIA WEAR PRADA? FIND OUT FRIDAY!” and “TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY. YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA.”

Really not funny, offensive, or even interesting, but I guess that's enough these days.

The jokes that made the snowflakes angry:

These included: “DOES MELANIA WEAR PRADA? FIND OUT FRIDAY!” and “TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY. YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA.”

Oof. Lost out on a whole $30 in revenue.

They'll never financially recover from this.

What state is that in?

Is Barbra Streisand involved?

So they lost the right to have several empty theaters? And they consider that a bad thing?

Financially, the film marketplace this week and next were a desert

Uh, Iron Lung? It's doing very well for an indie movie.

O_O

WTF @ everything associated with this timeline…

"I am Melania, Bride of Trumpella, and I have only known da feet."

oh no, they will lose tens of dollars.

And nothing of any value was lost.

portland for anyone else that has a lake oswego in their area. did not realize how popular a name that was.

Hope they gonna stop showing every Amazon production in the future like James Bond

My take is the theatre owner was screening the film primarily for mockery purposes?

I love this theatre - it's a mini Draft House and it is awesome.

There's a theatre near me that posts political messages. I wonder if they'd do one about that shitty docu if I sent them this.

They should replace it with a screening of 1984.

These included: “DOES MELANIA WEAR PRADA? FIND OUT FRIDAY!” and “TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY. YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA.”

And further below:

Even before the rights to “Melania” were revoked, the Lake Theater & Cafe had received emails from the community asking why the film was being shown at all, according to theater General Manager Jordan Perry’s blog post.

“Mostly, I thought doing so would be funny. For some of you, that’s enough. Great! Otherwise… Financially, the film marketplace this week and next were a desert… So, to fill a screen, why not get this inexplicable vanity piece from the current president’s wife?

This is hilarious, I love it! That Perry dude is a riot.

The book is ALWAYS better anyway.

And nothing of value was lost.

Doubtless they're all broken up about that. On the plus side, it frees up the theater to screen something that'll actually sell tickets.

which is directed by a sexual predator, brett RATNER.

Didn’t know Project Hail Mary is also an Amazon production. That sucks.

I’ll still see it, probably multiple times, but I’ll grumble silently about it each time I do.

We need a #CancelPrimeMembership day. Prime membership is just giving Amazon free money.

Man, I've seen that place.

Lake Oswego is a really nice area (more expensive than I can afford to live) and I thought it was so cool they still had this old school theatre.

Good for them to spout off. Don't see those people avoiding Whore Foods any time soon though.

The people asking why they're even showing the film have a point, I'm not entirely sure why they had it myself. They don't seem particularly enthusiastic about it.

All four people must be devastated.

They're never gonna financially recover from this.

How fragile can you be? These jokes are incredibly tame.
