A24’s Elizabeth Holmes Doc Opens to $12M-$14M, 2nd-Best Ever for a Documentary

3 articles · Updated · Deadline · Oct 17

Summary

  • $12 million-$14 million for You Can See Everything at 855 screens puts A24’s Elizabeth Holmes film behind only Fahrenheit 9/11’s $23.9 million documentary debut.
  • 1,300 sellouts, lines at theaters in New York and Nashville, and a 91% definite-recommend score on PostTrak drove the breakout, with overall positivity at 98%.
  • Gen Z and younger adults powered turnout: 62% of viewers were 18-34, 41% bought tickets the same day, and top grosses came from AMC Empire, AMC Kabuki and AMC Lincoln Square.
  • The result extends A24’s strong year after Backrooms and shows sustained audience appetite for Holmes, eight years after Theranos collapsed and four years after Hulu’s The Dropout.
