The documentary You Can See Everything, about Elizabeth Holmes, opened the North American weekend at about $15 million, according to A24 as cited by The Guardian. It played 855 screens and had more than 2,000 sell-out showings. Sunday’s figures are studio estimates, not a Monday audit. This is not a new verdict in the Theranos case: Holmes is already convicted.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms the same $15 million and the same screen count. The per-screen average, THR writes, was about $17,544. The Guardian calls it the biggest documentary opening in North America since Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004, without adjusting for inflation. Borat remains the marker for films on fewer than 1,000 screens, from 2006.

The film runs nearly three hours. Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim directed it in secret over three years. Fielder spent more than a month with Holmes, her children and her partner, Billy Evans, in the days before she reported to prison. That is film access, not a retrial.

The weekend crowd was young: more than 70 percent under 35, The Guardian and THR write. The film has not opened internationally yet. Australia is set for 12 November, the United Kingdom for 20 November. An American debut is not a world debut.

The reported production cost is under $7 million, marketing under $10 million. A24 remains the source for the sell-outs. The cited review scores (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic) are criticism, not takings.

The Guardian and THR stop at the weekend. Anyone writing that Holmes has been freed or that Theranos has been rehabilitated is writing past a box-office report.
