  "account": "A buzzed-about documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, the imprisoned tech CEO, outperformed Warner Bros.' gory Batman villain origin story, Clayface, at the US and Canadian domestic box office this weekend. Holmes' three-hour film, You Can See Everything, debuted at $20 million, closely followed by Clayface's $24 million opening in the same regions, according to Exhibitor Relations. This marks the second highest weekend ever for a documentary, after Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004, and a 28% increase from its debut the previous week, as reported by analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. The documentary chronicles Holmes and her family during a pivotal month before her 11-year prison sentence. Holmes was found guilty of defrauding investors in her medical testing company Theranos, a scandal that sparked a media frenzy and was covered in books, podcasts, and the mini-series The Dropout. The documentary has now amassed an estimated total of $45 million domestically, with some analysts predicting it could be the first documentary to receive a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars. Clayface claimed third place, followed by Fathom Events' animated film Wildwood, followed by Street Fighter and Black Bear's Wicker.",
