So shouting FIRE in a theatre or these days BOMB on an airplane, is acceptable to you and your version of free speech?

Speech that may reasonably be seen to instigate immediate harm or violence has never been considered protected. Speech that is an intended direct threat against another person has never been protected.

But this movie doesn't fall under either of those.

Sorry to disagree with you, but this is a direct threat to the sitting president of our country. I would say the same thing if it had been made during the 1990s.
