More likely that someone is being funny.
Is it though? Didn't Trump do exactly this for his famous escalator speech?

Allegedly. But on the balance of probabilities, I'd say it's more likely to be a a joke than someone actually trying to hire actors on Craigslist to watch a movie.
I saw this shared in a local community and someone had confirmed that many of the tickets for a local showing had been purchased likely for just this.
They said it on the Internet so you know it's true.
