Amazon reportedly cancelled screenings of a documentary about Melania Trump at the Lake Theater & Cafe, an independent cinema in Oregon. The cinema's general manager claims Amazon was displeased with the theater's marketing strategy for the film, which included taglines like "To defeat your enemy. You must know them. Melania." The documentary, directed by Brett Ratner, is an authorized study of the former First Lady. The cancellation occurred after Amazon was alerted to the cinema's promotional efforts. Some have also suggested that the film's ticket sales may not accurately reflect actual attendance.
