Key Points:
- The documentary "You Can See Everything," about Elizabeth Holmes, has experienced unexpectedly high demand, with many screenings in Manhattan and Brooklyn selling out, including weekday afternoons.
- Since its October 16 release, the film has grossed over $45 million, with about 70% of its audience under 35, and more than 3,000 screenings sold out during its opening weekend, especially in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
- The film’s nearly three-hour runtime limits the number of daily showings, contributing to ticket scarcity despite theaters adding more showtimes to meet demand.
- Viewers in Manhattan and Brooklyn face difficulty securing seats, often needing to settle for front-row spots or travel to less crowded boroughs like the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, or even New Jersey to see the film.
- Theater managers emphasize balancing audience demand with studio relationships and diverse programming, while some fans are willing to travel significant distances to catch a screening due to the film’s popularity.
