‘You Can See Everything’ pulled off a rare wide-release documentary opening, earning $15 million from just 855 theaters and landing in second place. Paramount’s ‘Street Fighter’ topped the chart with $31 million from 3,575 locations.
The A24 production, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, had been tracking for $7 million to $8 million before its surprise Telluride debut turned it into a word-of-mouth hit. The film covers the Theranos founder’s rise and fraud conviction ahead of her 11-year prison term.
Exit polls showed 70 percent of the audience under 35, with 90 percent saying they would definitely recommend it and 80 percent calling it better than expected. More than 2,000 screenings sold out during the opening frame.
Analyst David A. Gross noted that documentaries rarely receive wide releases and typically average $3 million in their first three days, making this year’s pair of major nonfiction titles an exception.
