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.”

Maybe they wanted to make money but they still did make jokes against it.
