“But “ Musk ,” Alex Gibney ‘s documentary about the world’s first trillionaire, is not a political film .”
“His distributor Bleecker Street behind the scenes has been fighting these battles and has been quietly fuming.”
““I’m not a conspiracy theorist by nature, but I will say that it was frustrating,” Sanderson said.”
“In response, Bleecker is moving up the PVOD release date of “Musk” to November 6 after slating it for late in November.”

“Despite the PVOD release, “Musk” will still play in a few select theaters through this weekend and beyond.”
“The back and forth, he said, was maddening and “constant,” with a whole lot of “this was taken down in error” before the next piece of content would have the same fate.”
““I think it’ll be the most pre-ordered movie in my entire career of doing this,” Kent Sanderson, Bleecker Street CEO , told IndieWire.”
“But Sanderson ultimately feels that the suppression of “Musk” is bigger than the impact on this one film or on his individual film company.”

““If something’s happening on a higher level, I’m not aware of it.” Sanderson did want to clarify that though there were some people who wanted to see the film released ahead of the midterm elections next week, this is quite literally the soonest they can turn around the digital release.”

“Meta and YouTube each pulled distributor Bleecker Street ‘s paid trailer for the film before later restoring it , saying its removal was in error.”
“But the documentary has been treated as political by every social media platform the film has tried to advertise on.”
“He’s also not naive to the fact that “Musk” is a tough film for exhibitors to keep on their screens week after week.”
“In the same weekend that “Musk” went wide, the No Kings Rally also had its Instagram account suspended for similar political reasons, and his team has even been talking with that organization about how they’re navigating that same experience.”
“The PVOD rental will also be available with a slightly extended cut of “Musk” that needed to be delivered, and he also found that the PVOD release window in late November is particularly crowded.”
““It just happened over and over again throughout the campaign of assets going up and then being taken down and then going up and then being taken down,” Sanderson said.”
“He also reassures that he remains in active discussions with HBO and HBO Max about making it available for streaming at a later date, something that people began to doubt after Musk invested $1 billion in the David Ellison-owned Skydance , which now owns HBO.”

“Sanderson said not only was it clear that the constant removal of their trailers and teasers was unfair given the film’s broader content, he found that the review and approval process in communication with each of the tech platforms was not as transparent as they would’ve normally expected it to be.”
