Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Opens to $15.6 Million in the U.S.

"You Can See Everything," a three-hour documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, opened to $15.6 million in U.S. cinemas, according to studio estimates reported by Variety. That makes it the second-biggest opening weekend ever for a documentary, behind Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" from 2004.

Theranos was the blood-testing company Holmes founded and led until its collapse. She was later convicted of fraud, and she began an 11-year prison sentence in 2025. Nathan Fielder directed the film with Lance Oppenheim, and A24 distributed it. The movie opened on October 16 in 855 theatres, according to Bloomberg.

The film was made in secret. A24 says it spent three years producing the movie for roughly $7 million, and it reported more than 2,000 sold-out screenings, meaning shows where every seat was taken, in a Variety report from October 18. According to Variety's October 2 reporting, the shoot used a seven-person crew, 16-hour filming days and cameras placed throughout the household. A24's own synopsis describes Holmes inviting a sceptical film crew to follow her every move. The story begins 34 days before she was sent to prison.

Abroad, the film is rolling out in stages. A staggered release means a film opens in different countries on different dates. In Australia and New Zealand it reaches cinemas on November 12. In the U.K., A24 has set November 20, more than a month after the U.S. debut.

The gap is not new for the studio. A24's "Everything Everywhere All at Once" arrived in British cinemas two months after its U.S. release in 2022. Its "Marty Supreme" went the other way, opening in the U.K. less than a week after the U.S. and taking in more than $22 million there, the studio's biggest British box office to date, per Variety. Jordan Firstman's "Club Kid" opens in U.S. cinemas on November 6 and in the U.K. on January 8, 2027.

Sales to other countries are being handled by other companies. Sony Pictures has acquired the film for several international territories, including Germany, Latin America and South Korea. Sony has not yet announced when the film will open in those markets. A24 declined to comment on its release plans when Variety asked.

The result is a film that will reach some audiences in the U.S. first, and others months later, with the timing for much of the world still open.
