'You Can See Everything' review: Fact, fiction and fraud in the Elizabeth Holmes film
A narrow win, settled on Monday
A documentary about convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has beaten a DC horror movie to the top of the North American box office. Final weekend figures reported Monday put You Can See Everything at $11.44 million, ahead of Clayface at roughly $11 million. Both had been projected at about $10.5 million on Sunday, and each distributor initially claimed the top spot.deadline +1
The result gave the A24 release its first No. 1 finish in its third weekend. Its domestic total reached $64.7 million. On Sunday alone, the film took in $4.3 million, up about 20% from Halloween Saturday and its biggest day of the weekend.deadline +1
An unusual trajectory
The nearly three-hour film opened on October 16 in 855 theaters, taking $15.6 million in its first weekend. Its second weekend grew to $18.7 million as it expanded to 2,655 locations; by its third weekend it was in 3,243. The latest three-day figure fell 39% from the previous weekend, according to box-office tracker The Numbers.the-numbers
That was enough to overtake Clayface, a Batman-villain origin story in its second weekend. The film’s North American total stood at approximately $44.7 million after the holiday frame, according to Deadline. But Clayface remained the stronger international draw: Screen Daily estimated it led the worldwide weekend chart, while You Can See Everything had only begun its international rollout in Turkey.deadline +1
Why this documentary drew attention
Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, You Can See Everything begins before Holmes reports to prison, when she invites a film crew to follow her. A24 lists its running time at two hours and 55 minutes.a24films
NPR’s review describes a film that shifts from a relatively straightforward portrait of Holmes’s last month at home into a more experimental second half. The critic found its blend of reality and invention compelling but questioned how selectively it treated evidence about Theranos.npr
