It\u2019s also a credit to Nathan Fielder, the film\u2019s co-director, who has cultivated a strong following through shows like Comedy Central\u2019s \u201cNathan for You\u201d and HBO\u2019s \u201cThe Rehearsal,\u201d that push meta to the breaking point. His awkward energy seemed perfectly matched for whatever Holmes is serving up through those unblinking eyes. Fielder\u2019s co-director, Lance Oppenheim, is also riding high, having recently directed <a data-id=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/news\/box-office\/a24-primetime-box-office-opening-robert-pattinson-star-power-1235218868\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/news\/box-office\/a24-primetime-box-office-opening-robert-pattinson-star-power-1235218868\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">another A24 hit<\/a>, the Robert Pattinson drama \u201cPrimetime.\u201d That look at \u201cTo Catch a Predator\u201d host Chris Hansen has grossed nearly $45 million on a $14.5 million budget. \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d carries a $7 million budget, setting itself up for a very, very profitable run.<\/p>\n<p>Last year at this time, A24 was <a data-id=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/box-office\/one-battle-after-another-lose-100-million-dollars-theaters-1236552914\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2025\/film\/box-office\/one-battle-after-another-lose-100-million-dollars-theaters-1236552914\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">in rough shape<\/a>. It had raised $75 million in 2024 from Thrive Capital which valued the company at a massive $3.5 billion. Then it used that money to invest in some real duds, including \u201cThe Smashing Machine,\u201d which cost $50 million and was supposed to <a data-id=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/06\/dwayne-johnson-smashing-machine-oscars-snub-lit-fire-1236954373\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/06\/dwayne-johnson-smashing-machine-oscars-snub-lit-fire-1236954373\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">score Dwayne Johnson an Oscar<\/a> until it sunk like a rock at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/t\/box-office\/\" id=\"auto-tag_box-office\" data-tag=\"box-office\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">box office<\/a>, grossing a measly $21.1 million. Other costly flops included Ari Aster \u201cEddington,\u201d which offered a return to the COVID era that audiences roundly rejected. <\/p>\n<p>But since \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d opened in December of 2025, A24 has been on an epic hot streak. The drama about a ping-pong player became A24\u2019s highest-grossing release ever, earning $192.4 million on a $70 million budget. But that record didn\u2019t last long. \u201cBackrooms\u201d premiered in the summer, grossing more than $400 million on a $10 million budget. There have still been flops (justice for \u201cMother Mary\u201d), but A24 hits like \u201cTony\u201d and \u201cThe Drama\u201d have outnumbered its misses. With major studios like Warner Bros. and Fox getting sold off or disappearing, A24 and its $3.5 billion valuation stand out like a beacon of hope to auteurs like Fielder and Oppenheim, promising them both artistic freedom and a chance to reach a wider audience than they otherwise might have dreamed of attracting. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, it helps to have a killer marketing hook. In Holmes, an erstwhile entrepreneur who <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2019\/03\/21\/elizabeth-holmes-capitalist-fairy-tale\/\" target=\"_blank\">hoodwinked Beltway power brokers and captains of industry<\/a> before lighting billions of dollars on fire, \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d demonstrates once again that nothing is as fascinating as a fall from grace. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Audiences can\u2019t get enough of Elizabeth Holmes.
