A24\u2019s Elizabeth Holmes documentary opened to $15 million from just 855 theaters, the biggest documentary debut since Fahrenheit 9\/11 in 2004. Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim\u2019s film went into the weekend tracking for $7 million to $12 million and sold out more than 2,000 screenings.<\/p>\n
Roughly 70% of ticket buyers were under 35, and A24 has plans to expand the film nationwide in the coming weeks. At 99 on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic<\/a>, it\u2019s the highest-rated Best Picture contender of the year<\/a>.<\/p>\n Alex Gibney\u2019s Musk<\/a> didn\u2019t fare nearly as well, pulling in about $297,000 as it expanded to 472 theaters \u2014 a rollout complicated by the suspension of the film\u2019s TikTok account<\/a>.<\/p>\n Paramount\u2019s Street Fighter still took the top spot at the box office with about $30 million, plus $20.1 million overseas for a $51.1 million global start. The Capcom adaptation drew a B- CinemaScore and sits at 42% on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n Other Mommy<\/a> held third with $8.3 million, down 70% in its second weekend. Universal\u2019s horror film is at $44.8 million domestic and $78.7 million worldwide.<\/p>\n Whalefall<\/a> was the weekend\u2019s casualty, opening to $8 million against a $60 million budget. 20th Century\u2019s survival thriller took a B CinemaScore and 71% on Rotten Tomatoes, and added just $9.5 million overseas. Sense and Sensibility<\/a> rounded out the top five with $7.2 million, plus $11 million internationally.<\/p>\n Here are the final box office totals for the top five over the Oct. 16-18 weekend:<\/p>\n Street Fighter \u2014 $30 million<\/p>\n You Can See Everything \u2014 $15 million<\/p>\n Other Mommy \u2014 $8.3 million<\/p>\n Whalefall \u2014 $8 million<\/p>\n Sense and Sensibility \u2014 $7.2 million<\/p>\n Original story Oct. 15, 2026<\/p>\n Street Fighter is heading for No. 1 at the box office, but the real fight this weekend is between two Oscar-hungry documentaries.<\/p>\n Paramount\u2019s video game adaptation is tracking for $25 million to $35 million, with another $35 million expected overseas for a global start near $70 million. Kitao Sakurai directs the third live-action take on the Capcom franchise, after the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme version and 2009\u2019s Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. Noah Centineo stars alongside Jason Momoa, 50 Cent, and WWE\u2019s Cody Rhodes and Joe Anoa\u2019i, part of a deep bench of famous faces<\/a>.<\/p>\n The real battle is further down the chart. A24\u2019s You Can See Everything opens in roughly 800 theaters and is tracking between $7 million and $12 million. For scale, Melania set the biggest opening for a non-music documentary in more than a decade earlier this year with $7.1 million \u2014 from more than twice as many screens. Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim\u2019s Elizabeth Holmes film<\/a> is one of the best-reviewed movies of the year<\/a>, and A24 is campaigning it for Best Picture<\/a>, where no documentary has ever been nominated.<\/p>\n Alex Gibney\u2019s Musk<\/a> expands nationwide from Bleecker Street the same weekend after a four-theater start that brought in $68,900. It won\u2019t trouble the top five, but the Oscar race is another story, with both films in the top five of Gold Derby\u2019s Best Documentary Feature odds<\/a>.<\/p>\n Best Documentary Feature<\/p>\n 1.<\/p>\n 2.<\/p>\n Once Upon a Time in Harlem<\/p>\n 3.<\/p>\n 4.<\/p>\n 5.<\/p>\n 20th Century Studios\u2019 Whalefall is on pace for third with $6 million to $12 million. Brian Duffield directs Austin Abrams<\/a>, fresh off Resident Evil, as a diver trapped inside a sperm whale in the adaptation of Daniel Kraus\u2019 novel, with Josh Brolin and Elisabeth Shue co-starring. <\/p>\n Universal’s Other Mommy lands fourth with $10 million to $15 million in its second weekend. Jessica Chastain\u2019s horror film opened to $27.5 million<\/a> but drew a D-plus CinemaScore, which usually means a drop of 60% or more.<\/p>\n Focus Features\u2019 Sense and Sensibility hopes to round out the top five with $5 million to $8 million. Georgia Oakley\u2019s Jane Austen adaptation<\/a> stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esm\u00e9 Creed-Miles as the Dashwood sisters, with Caitr\u00edona Balfe, George MacKay, and Fiona Shaw. Verity could make it close. Anne Hathaway\u2019s Colleen Hoover adaptation took second last weekend with $11.4 million, and a typical third-frame drop would land it right around the same number.<\/p>\n Outside the top five, Netflix\u2019s La Bola Negra<\/a> goes limited after winning the Toronto People\u2019s Choice Award<\/a>, a prize with a long history of launching Best Picture campaigns. Roadside Attractions\u2019 horror film Crawlers<\/a> and Abramorama’s The Trial of Alec Baldwin also open.<\/p>\n Here are Gold Derby\u2019s predicted box-office rankings for the top five over the Oct. 16-18 weekend:<\/p>\n Street Fighter \u2014 $28 million<\/p>\n You Can See Everything \u2014 $11 million<\/p>\n Whalefall \u2014 $10 million<\/p>\n Other Mommy \u2014 $9 million<\/p>\n Sense and Sensibility \u2014 $6 million<\/p>\n Check back Sunday for the actuals and to see how they compared with our predictions.<\/p>\n Street Fighter Whalefall You Can See Everything Musk Sense and Sensibility La Bola Negra Crawlers 2026 box office hits: Every movie that made more than $100 million<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Update Oct. 18, 2026 Street Fighter won the box office, but You Can See Everything delivered the knockout…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":886893,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[2642,69280,371924,88,283178,206,13529,14496,3099,42958,40681,355314],"class_list":["post-886892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-box-office","tag-box-office-predictions","tag-crawlers","tag-entertainment","tag-la-bola-negra","tag-movies","tag-musk","tag-other-mommy","tag-sense-and-sensibility","tag-street-fighter","tag-whalefall","tag-you-can-see-everything"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=886892"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886892\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/886893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Elon](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Musk.jpg\")
