\n\t\u201cYou Can See Everything<\/a>\u201d has remained a box office juggernaut, powering to $80 million in North America after just four weekends of release. At this rate, A24<\/a>\u2018s red-hot movie about Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes is primed to surpass $100 million domestically, a hugely impressive milestone for a nearly three-hour documentary.<\/p>\n

\n\tOver the weekend, \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d collected $8.8 million from 2,473 theaters in its fourth frame, a minimal 23% decline. It now ranks as the second-highest grossing non-music documentary ever in North America, above 2005\u2019s \u201cMarch of the Penguins\u201d ($77 million) and behind Michael Moore\u2019s 2005 film \u201cFahrenheit 9\/11\u201d ($119 million). <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d has yet to be released internationally; it\u2019s getting a staggered rollout starting at the end of November. It\u2019ll have to resonate with foreign audiences to topple the genre\u2019s worldwide box office records. \u201cFahrenheit 9\/11\u201d stands as the biggest documentary in history with $103 million overseas and $222 million globally, followed by \u201cMarch of the Penguins\u201d with $49 million overseas and $127 million globally. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2018You Can See Everything\u2019 has really broken the rules of how a documentary can perform at the box office,\u201d says Rentrak\u2019s head of marketplace trends Paul Dergarabedian. \u201cIt has defied box office gravity week after week and clearly captured the imagination of audiences.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tAfter a surprise world premiere at Telluride Film Festival, \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d became a word-of-mouth sensation, bolstered by some of the best reviews of the year. After opening to $15 million in mid October<\/a>, the movie has continues to pack in crowds, many of whom have returned to theaters to process and unpack the stranger-than-fiction film. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d takes place over three years and begins as Holmes, the founder of the health technology company Theranos, is preparing for her 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe turnout for \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d is impressive considering there\u2019s been plenty of films and television shows about Holmes. Her rise and dramatic fall from grace was immortalized in the Hulu series \u201cThe Dropout,\u201d starring Amanda Seyfried, as well as Alex Gibney\u2019s \u201cThe Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley.\u201d All the secrecy around \u201cYou Can See Everything,\u201d a project that nobody knew about until about a month before it landed in theaters, dialed up the anticipation. The doc\u2019s popularity also speaks to the commercial appeal of Fielder, a master of cringe comedy. He\u2019s developed a flair for blending reality and fiction through shows like HBO\u2019s \u201cThe Rehearsal\u201d and Comedy Central\u2019s \u201cNathan For You,\u201d and moviegoers were intrigued to awkward witness the dynamic between him and Holmes.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe unlikely box office powerhouse has even managed to outgrossed several major fall releases, including Oppenheim\u2019s \u201cPrimetime,\u201d a frenetic drama starring Robert Pattinson as \u201cTo Catch a Predator\u201d host Chris Hansen ($46 million to date), DC\u2019s comic book adventure \u201cClayface\u201d ($56 million to date), Brad Pitt\u2019s survival thriller \u201cHeart of the Beast\u201d ($67 million) and the Colleen Hoover adaptation \u201cVerity,\u201d led by Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson ($75 million). All of those movies were bolstered by months-long, multi-million dollar marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor A24, \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d stands as the indie studio\u2019s third-biggest domestic release ever, surpassing 2022\u2019s \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once\u201d ($77 million) and trailing only this summer\u2019s \u201cBackrooms\u201d ($197 million) and 2025\u2019s \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d ($96 million). With a $7 million production budget, it\u2019ll be hugely profitable, too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d has remained a box office juggernaut, powering to $80 million in North America after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":910520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[17979,88,206,355314],"class_list":["post-910519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-a24","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-you-can-see-everything"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910519","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=910519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
