The documentary "You Can See Everything" about the final days of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of the collapsed startup Theranos, got off to an impressive start in U.S. and Canadian theaters, earning about $15 million in its opening weekend from just 855 locations, infohub.kz reports.
The result was nearly double analysts' initial projections of $7–8 million. The film, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and released by A24, finished second at the North American box office, Variety reported.
The film chronicles Holmes's final days before she was sent to federal prison in 2023. Fielder's crew spent more than a month with Holmes and her family, and the project was made in secret over three years. The three-hour film had a production budget of about $7 million, while the studio spent less than $10 million on marketing.
Distributors noted strong interest from younger audiences, with more than 70% of viewers under 35. The film drew excellent reviews from critics and high audience scores in PostTrak surveys. It placed second among the weekend's releases, behind only the action film "Street Fighter," beating the week's other new openings.
A24 plans to significantly expand the number of theaters showing the film in the coming weeks.
