IndieWire • • general
Key Points:
- "You Can See Everything," a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, opened with $15 million from 855 screens, marking the second-best opening for a non-music documentary in history, just behind "Fahrenheit 9/11."
- The film's success is attributed to a clever marketing campaign that revealed little but created high anticipation, along with co-director Nathan Fielder's strong following and unique style.
- A24, the film's distributor, has rebounded from previous financial struggles with recent hits like "Marty Supreme" and "Backrooms," boosting its reputation and valuation to $3.5 billion.
- The documentary's $7 million budget positions it for a highly profitable run, benefiting from A24's growing influence as a studio that offers artistic freedom and wider audience reach.
- A24's success contrasts with major studio instability, making it a prominent platform for auteurs such as Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, who co-directed the Holmes documentary.
