In a truly unprecedented turn of events, You Can See Everything topped the domestic box office charts this past weekend, a feat rarely achieved by documentaries, and never before by one playing in fewer than 1,000 theaters. The film pulled in an impressive $15 million from just 855 screens, reporting an astounding 2,000 sold-out shows. This remarkable performance marks the second-biggest opening for a documentary ever, trailing only Michael Moore's Oscar-winning Fahrenheit 9/11.

A24's strategic rollout played a crucial role in building the film's momentum. After its existence was first revealed at this year's Telluride Film Festival, the studio meticulously cultivated an air of exclusivity around the three-hour epic, which meticulously follows the disgraced Theranos founder. This carefully crafted anticipation, combined with strong critical reception, propelled the film to its blockbuster opening.

Critics have lauded You Can See Everything, earning it a 'Certified Fresh' 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The consensus praises "Nathan Fielder's ironclad commitment to the bit... as absorbing as it is haunting." Collider's Samuel R. Murrian further championed the film in his review, describing it as "a true original that will absolutely continue to surge in the awards season conversation."

Capitalizing on this overwhelming success, A24 is significantly expanding the film's reach. You Can See Everything is set to open in over 2,600 theaters this coming week, with projections estimating an additional $25 million to $30 million over the weekend. This ambitious target puts it in direct competition with DC Studios' Clayface, which is also eyeing a $30 million domestic debut amidst mixed early reviews. Should You Can See Everything meet these projections, it could challenge Clayface for the number one spot yet again.

The documentary's triumph adds another feather to A24's cap in 2026, following other notable successes like Backrooms, which grossed $400 million worldwide, and domestic hits such as The Drama and Primetime. The studio continues to prove that unconventional storytelling, when executed with vision and strategic distribution, can resonate deeply with audiences and achieve significant commercial success.
