I suspect the answer, in this case, is more likely to be “There just isn’t a lot of market for watching a four hour long documentary in a movie theatre.”
Like, I love Hbomberguy and Folding Ideas, y’know? I am the actual target audience for four hour long documentaries. But if you told me that I could go watch HBomb’s latest in a theatre instead of at home, I’d think you were fucking insane.
Is it impossible there was foul play? No, of course not. But I think this is a pretty good application for Occam’s razor.
Let’s see what happens when it hits streaming. That’s where the real market will be.
I got to admit, the idea of a four hour documentary is a bit daunting, even when watching it at home. I would have far preferred a four-part miniseries.
I just can’t imagine Elon Musk is interesting enough for four hours of anything. Like, I’m sure there are horrible thing about him I don’t already know, but nothing about this man has surprised me in years, so I wouldn’t expect much impact
I hate this guy so much I just don’t think ibcouod watch more than a few minutes of anything to do with him.
