Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Opens Big
A new Elizabeth Holmes documentary opened to $15 million, helped by secrecy-heavy marketing and strong interest in the Theranos story.
AI-generated summary based on reporting by IndieWire.
Audiences turned out in a big way for “You Can See Everything,” a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes. The film opened to $15 million from 855 screens, making it the second-best opening ever for a non-music documentary. It trails only “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
A24 kept the movie’s details under wraps before release, which helped build curiosity. The studio reported more than 2,000 sellouts, and the film benefited from interest in Holmes, who has already been the subject of podcasts, books, documentaries, and TV portrayals.
Nathan Fielder co-directed the film with Lance Oppenheim, and both have been tied to recent A24 success. The movie was made for $7 million, so the strong opening sets it up for a very profitable run. It also comes during a hot streak for A24 after some expensive misses last year.
