Documentary on Elizabeth Holmes Opens to Sold‑Out Audiences

The A24 documentary 'You Can See Everything' about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes opened nationwide on October 16. It earned $15 million domestically in its first weekend, according to Variety. The New York Times reported that the film played over 2,000 sold‑out shows before wide release.

The film is nearly three hours long and follows Holmes, her husband Billy Evans, and their two children during the final weeks before her prison sentence in 2023, according to Guardian. Co‑directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim embedded with the family in a beachfront rental, as described by Guardian. Guardian also noted that the film might make Oscars history.

Variety reported that the documentary’s release revived interest in John Carreyrou’s 2018 book 'Bad Blood', which returned to Amazon bestseller lists after the film opened. The book ranks No. 1 in three categories and No. 3,048 overall, according to Variety.

Holmes was convicted in 2022 of four counts of wire fraud and conspiracy related to Theranos, and was sentenced to more than 11 years in federal prison, according to Variety. She maintains her innocence, a point that appears in the documentary, according to Variety.

Netflix achieved a box office milestone with the film, as reported by the New York Times, though the specific figure was not disclosed.
