""It has come to our attention that a piece of music from Phantom Thread has been used in the Melania documentary," the statement, shared with Vulture, reads. "While Jonny Greenwood does not own the copyright in the score, Universal failed to consult Jonny on this third-party use which is a breach of his composer agreement. As a result Jonny and Paul Thomas Anderson have asked for it to be removed from the documentary.""
"Luckily for Anderson and Greenwood, not very many people have seen the Brett Ratner-directed doc. The movie has made $13.35 million worldwide, which is pretty good for a documentary but far less than the reported $75 million studio Amazon paid to acquire and market the film. In comparison, Phantom Thread made $52.2 million. Plus, the Trumps have none of Alma and Reynolds Woodcock's haunting yet torrid psychosexual appeal."
Paul Thomas Anderson and Jonny Greenwood objected to the use of music from Phantom Thread in the Melania documentary, saying Universal failed to consult Greenwood and breached his composer agreement. Greenwood does not own the copyright in the score, prompting Anderson and Greenwood to ask that the music be removed. The Melania documentary has earned $13.35 million worldwide, well below the reported $75 million that Amazon paid to acquire and market it. Phantom Thread earned $52.2 million. Tony Neiman, credited as the composer of the Melania score, has not commented. The Trumps lack Phantom Thread's psychosexual appeal.
