And nothing of any value was lost.
oh no, they will lose tens of dollars.
portland for anyone else that has a lake oswego in their area. did not realize how popular a name that was.
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 Prada one is mildly clever, implying Melania is the devil.
Yeah. I don’t wear Prada.
False economy.I kinda like the second one, about defeating them you must know them.
Welcome to Sun Tzu Theater.
Amazon got mad over a DOT-level joke
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.”
Frees up the screen for something useful. Like a stream of paint drying.
Ooh, hopefully the plot of the drying paint is vocalised at least three times an hour so I can watch on my phone.
Theatre Owner: Oh thank fuck.
Is it a cinema, or theatre? I am confused. I thought it was a movie.
“Movie theater (sic)” in American English, “cinema” in British.
Financially, the film marketplace this week and next were a desert
Uh, Iron Lung? It’s doing very well for an indie movie.
It made several times its budget but it’s still a tiny amount compared to blockbusters
Still number 1 tho
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.
Nice
Hope they gonna stop showing every Amazon production in the future like James Bond
They should replace it with a screening of 1984.
Oof. Lost out on a whole $30 in revenue.
They’ll never financially recover from this.
Well boys, looks like we have ourselves an optomist!
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.
So they lost the right to have several empty theaters? And they consider that a bad thing?
