- Armie Hammer's controversial film, Citizen Vigilante, has secured worldwide distribution rights through Quiver Distribution, though it will not be shown in the UK, German-speaking territories, South Korea or Taiwan, with Germany having banned the movie due to its extreme violence and anti-immigrant themes.

- Director Uwe Boll revealed that Musk personally sought permission to post the film on X/Twitter, with Boll estimating the movie has earned $600,000 in North America against a2 million budget, while also defending the film's controversial themes and denying accusations of being a Nazi.
- Hammer acknowledged making "problems for myself" but denied the specific allegations, stating he brought "very dangerous and unsafe people into my life," and expressed his desperation to work, even considering a "cat food commercial."
