  "account": "Elizabeth Holmes, the jailed tech CEO, was the subject of a highly anticipated documentary that debuted at the US and Canadian domestic box office, competing with Warner Bros.' animated film Clayface. The documentary, co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, garnered $24 million in its opening weekend, showcasing a remarkable 28% increase from its previous week. This marked the second highest weekend earnings for a documentary, following Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004. Holmes was convicted for defrauding investors in her company Theranos, leading to a media frenzy and inspiring other works like a book, podcasts, and a mini-series. The documentary has now earned an estimated total of $45 million domestically, potentially making it the first documentary to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. The top five films included Clayface, You Can See Everything, Wildwood, Street Fighter, and Wicker.",
  "summary": "A gory Batman villain origin story, 'Clayface' debuted in first place with US$24 million, ahead of 'You Can See Everything' at US$20 million.",
