"Musk" Documentary Pulled from Almost Every One of 472 Theaters After One Week

The documentary 'Musk' has been removed from nearly all 472 theaters where it was initially scheduled to be screened after just one week, following a change in ownership by Bleecker Street Films. The film, which explores the life of Elon Musk, was released on October 20 and was expected to expand to more theaters after its initial run. However, after the new ownership took over, the film's distribution and marketing plans were reportedly altered, leading to its removal from most theaters. The documentary's directors, Lauren and Cullen Gallagher, had previously expressed concerns about the film's marketing and distribution, suggesting that they were not involved in the decision-making process. The exact reasons for the removal are unclear, but it is believed to be related to the new ownership's changes to the film's strategy.
