We come to this place … five years after literally everyone else. In a real head-scratcher moment of publicity from our nation’s capital, the White House released an AI-generated parody video of the famous Nicole Kidman AMC Theatres ad. The official Trump White House YouTube channel posted the video on August 3 under the title “Silence your cell phones. Sit back. Welcome to the Golden Age.” At only one minute and four seconds long, one wonders how long they’ve been working on this, or why they would choose to parody the “We come to this place for magic” spiel (replacing “magic” with “MAGA”) now, five years after the original debuted, four years after Saturday Night Live parodied it in 2021, and a few years after Gritty, Morgan Freeman, and countless drag queens put their own spins on it. My theory is that a staffer went to see The Odyssey and thought Kidman’s pre-roll was part of the movie? Sing, O Muse, of dazzling images on a huge silver screen.

White House parodies Nicole Kidman’s iconic AMC ad
As AMC celebrates a historic opening weekend, the White House is parodying the theater company's iconic prescreening promo featuring Nicole Kidman.
On Aug. 3, the official White House social media accounts posted a one-minute-long video parodying AMC's "We Make Movies Better" ad, which features Kidman and is played before a movie begins at the theater chain. Whereas AMC's video promotes the magic of movie theaters, the White House's video, which appears artificial intelligence-generated, promotes the determination of President Donald Trump's administration.
"We come to this place for MAGA, to fight, fight, fight and win, win, win because we need that, all of us," the White House's video begins, featuring a man wearing a Make America Great Again ballcap. In comparison to AMC's, Kidman opens with, "We come to this place for magic. We come to AMC Theatres to laugh, to cry, to care because we need that, all of us."
