Documentary 'You Can See Everything' Nears $100 Million Domestic Gross
The Theranos-focused documentary has earned $80 million in North America after four weekends, becoming the second-highest-grossing non-musical documentary in the region.
The A24 documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has accumulated $80 million at the North American box office after four weekends, putting it on track to exceed $100 million domestically. In its fourth weekend the film earned $8.8 million from 2,473 theaters, a 23 percent decline from the previous week, and moved into second place among non-musical documentaries, ahead of 2005’s March of the Penguins ($77 million) and behind Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 ($119 million).
The film has not yet been released internationally; a staggered rollout is planned to begin at the end of November. Worldwide, Fahrenheit 9/11 remains the highest-grossing documentary with $103 million overseas and $222 million total, while March of the Penguins has earned $49 million abroad and $127 million globally.
"'You Can See Everything' has really broken the rules of how a documentary can perform at the box office," said Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends at Rentrak. "It has defied box office gravity week after week and clearly captured the imagination of audiences."
The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and has benefited from strong word-of-mouth and positive reviews. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, it follows Holmes as she prepares for an 11-year prison sentence for investor fraud. The documentary follows earlier portrayals of Holmes in the Hulu series The Dropout and Alex Gibney’s The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley.
For A24, the documentary ranks as the studio’s third-largest domestic release, surpassing 2022’s Everything Everywhere All at Once ($77 million) and trailing only Backrooms ($197 million) and 2025’s Marty Supreme ($96 million). With a production budget of about $7 million, the film is expected to be highly profitable.
