Elizabeth Holmes Documentary 'You Can See Everything' Achieves Strong Opening

The documentary film "You Can See Everything," chronicling the rise and fall of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, has captured significant audience attention during its opening weekend. The film grossed an estimated $15 million, marking the second-highest opening weekend box office performance for any documentary film.

Despite being released in only 855 theaters, the movie reportedly sold out 2,000 screenings, indicating high demand. Critical reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with "You Can See Everything" earning a 99% score on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.

The film delves into Holmes's story, from founding the blood-testing startup Theranos and attracting major Silicon Valley investors to her eventual sentencing of 11 years in prison for defrauding those investors. Filmmakers Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim gained extensive access to Holmes and her family in the month prior to her incarceration.

The documentary's success highlights the continued public fascination with Holmes's narrative, which has previously been explored in books, podcasts, and other media. The limited theatrical release coupled with high demand has led to difficulties in securing tickets in several locations.
