After passing his other hit "Primetime," director Lance Oppenheim could have just the 11th documentary in history to cross $100 million in grosses The post ‘You Can See Everything’ Box Office Rose 23% in Its 2nd Weekend. Its Ceiling Is Still Unknown | Analysis appeared first on TheWrap .
A24 and Lance Oppenheim have had quite a fall season, starting with the indie studio's success with "Primetime," a biopic about Theranos' Elizabeth Holmes, which has earned $45 million at the U.S. box office. Now, Oppenheim aims to outdo himself with "You Can See Everything," a documentary about Holmes starring Nathan Fielder. The film has already smashed box office records, with its $19.5 million second weekend earning it the biggest opening ever for a documentary since 2004's "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Despite being largely unknown before its surprise Telluride premiere, the film's buzz helped it expand to 2,655 locations, leading to a 23% increase from its opening weekend. Directed secretly by Oppenheim and Fielder, the film has turned Holmes and her partner Billy Evans into headline news, making "You Can See Everything" a potential contender for one of A24's biggest hits ever, and possibly the biggest documentary in box office history.
However, predicting its box office ceiling remains a challenge due to its unique combination of a long runtime and a doc identity. If it manages to maintain strong numbers through Halloween weekend, it could surpass the domestic grosses of A24's previous hits and even become the second highest grossing film ever for the studio.
