A documentary titled 'You Can See Everything' about disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes earned $15 million from 855 screens in its opening weekend, with over 2,000 sellout showings. This represents the biggest opening for a film playing on under 1,000 screens since 'Borat' opened in 2006, and the biggest non-music documentary opening in two decades, since 'Fahrenheit 9/11' made nearly $24 million from 868 theaters.
Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the nearly three-hour film was made in secret over three years. Fielder spent over a month with Holmes and her family, including two young children and partner Billy Evans, in her final days before she reported to federal prison.
The film drew a largely younger audience, with over 70 per cent of opening weekend viewers under 35. It received critical acclaim with a 99 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 99 on Metacritic, along with an unprecedented 91 per cent 'definite recommend' from audiences according to PostTrak exit polls. By comparison, Paramount's 'Street Fighter' led the overall box office with $31 million from 3,575 theaters.
