The Elizabeth Holmes documentary is crushing it at the box office. See how much it's made so far.

Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder have a hit with their new film, "You Can See Everything." It's the highest-grossing documentary of the year.

Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder's documentary, You Can See Everything, is a major success at the box office. The film about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes earned $15 million during its opening weekend in the US and Canada, making it the best-performing documentary of the year so far. Despite being a critical and audience favorite, garnering 99% and 98% ratings respectively on Rotten Tomatoes and among regular viewers, the film's financial triumph is its most striking achievement.

Directed by Fielder and Oppenheim, You Can See Everything provides an in-depth look at Holmes, who was convicted of defrauding investors with her blood-testing company, Theranos. Once valued at $9 billion, the company's claims of its device being able to conduct hundreds of tests with just a finger prick were ultimately proven false.

Holmes served an 11-year sentence in federal prison following a scathing investigative report by John Carreyrou in The Wall Street Journal, which led to her criminal charges.
