Quiver Secures Global Rights to Armie Hammer Film After Musk's 240 Million-Follower X Push

Quiver Distribution expanded from North American rights to worldwide rights for “Citizen Vigilante,” excluding the U.K., German-speaking territories, South Korea and Taiwan, after the film’s sudden exposure on X.
Elon Musk posted the full movie free for 48 hours to his 240 million followers, and director Uwe Boll said the publicity helped trigger the deal even if it may have cut into direct sales.
Boll said the film has made about $600,000 in North America against an estimated $2 million budget, leaving it short of recoupment as he weighs whether the X release ultimately boosts revenue.
Limited overseas prospects also shaped the decision: Boll said the film lacks a U.K. rating, was denied one in Germany, and had little chance of wider pickup before Musk’s intervention.
