FASTER THAN A TESLA MODEL S PLAID! Critical Musk documentary pulled from theatres after just two weeks. The film concludes its theatrical run with a $571,902 box-office performance.
Despite its critical praise, Alex Gibney’s Musk documentary about the world’s richest man is ending its theatrical run after just two weeks, according to entertainment news site Showbiz411.
Upon its release on Oct. 9th, Musk was shown in just four theatres in two cities nationwide, but that number rose to over 450 by the second (and ultimately final) week of its theatrical run, though the total take, according to Gizmodo, was a paltry $571,902, making it “an unmitigated flop.”
But could there be something else at play here other than simple box office math?
Err, yes?
Wait… was it pulled or did it just get a 2 week Oscar-qualifying run? https://t.co/0516EeKkcc
