- President Donald Trump and Melania Trump are expected to attend the Jan. 29 screening, one of 20 pre-release events ahead of the film’s Jan. 30 theatrical release, and Amazon’s reportedly $40 million deal ensures streaming on Prime Video.
- Several artists have canceled events, including Hamilton, Issa Rae and Rhiannon Giddens, while Kennedy family members criticized the renaming, noting the official change appears to require congressional approval.
