A24's You Can See Everything Shatters Box Office Records in Just Days!

A Groundbreaking Documentary's Success

The A24 documentary, You Can See Everything, is making waves at the North American box office, achieving a remarkable feat for its genre. Within just six days of its release, the film has outperformed the total domestic earnings of the renowned documentary, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, officially earning a spot among the top 10 highest-grossing non-music documentaries ever.

Focusing on the controversial life of former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes, the film has amassed a domestic total of $23.4 million. This figure surpasses the $22.8 million lifetime gross of Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, a benchmark reached in under a week. Industry reports suggest that the documentary is holding strong, even as it transitions from a limited release to a broader theatrical presence.

Box Office Highlights and Future Prospects

The documentary's financial success was further underscored by its performance on its first Wednesday, where it generated $2.6 million. Data from Box Office Mojo indicates this amount is the second-highest Wednesday gross ever recorded for a documentary, only behind Fahrenheit 9/11's $3.4 million. Remarkably, the film experienced just a 1% drop from its Tuesday earnings, which typically benefit from discounted ticket prices, indicating a sustained interest from audiences.

As it heads into its second weekend, the film is set to expand into 2,655 theaters across North America. This broader release is anticipated to enhance its position in the domestic box office rankings, with forecasts suggesting it could vie for the top spot. The documentary, which follows a critical film crew documenting Holmes in the final month before her prison sentence, has transformed from a niche release into a major player in theaters.
