New Elizabeth Holmes documentary scores thousands of sellout showings on its opening weekend

This weekend saw a diverse range of new films in North American theaters, with Paramount's "Street Fighter" taking the top spot with $31 million. However, the Elizabeth Holmes documentary "You Can See Everything" garnered significant attention, earning an extraordinary $15 million from only 855 screens with over 2,000 sellouts. This documentary, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, achieved the biggest opening for a film under 1,000 screens since "Borat" in 2006. It also marked the largest non-music documentary opening in two decades, since "Fahrenheit 9/11." The film, made in secret over three years, featured Fielder spending a month with Holmes before her prison sentence, receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews. "Street Fighter," a video game reboot, secured $51 million globally and appealed predominantly to male audiences. The survival thriller "Whalefall" underperformed, making $8 million domestically despite better reviews than "Street Fighter." "Other Mommy" continued its strong run with an additional $8.4 million, pushing its domestic total to $44.9 million. The Jane Austen adaptation "Sense and Sensibility" landed in fifth place, appealing largely to a young, female demographic. Alex Gibney's Elon Musk documentary "Musk" faced advertising hurdles on social media, while Netflix reported box office numbers for "La Bola Negra," a potential best picture contender. Overall, the weekend generated $101.6 million in ticket sales, a substantial increase from the previous year.
