\u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d has already become a box office hit, opening with $15 million during its debut weekend (according to Sunday projections). This marks the second-largest opening weekend for a documentary film in history.<\/p>\n

The nearly three-hour film \u2014 revealed last month at a clandestine screening at the Telluride Film Festival \u2014 <\/strong>\u00a0is only showing in 855 cinemas this weekend. (In comparison, the top movie of the weekend, \u201cStreet Fighter,\u201d is being screened in 3,575 venues.) Nevertheless, it reportedly had 2,000 sellout shows, with reviews being extremely favorable; \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d now boasts scores of 99% on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.<\/p>\n

The narrative of Elizabeth Holmes\u2019 ascent and downfall \u2014 establishing the blood-testing startup Theranos, garnering backing from many prominent figures in Silicon Valley, and ultimately receiving an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors \u2014 has been recounted in books, podcasts, television programs, and various documentaries.<\/p>\n

However, the filmmakers of \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d were granted significant access to Holmes and her family during the month leading up to her incarceration, and the participation of \u201cThe Rehearsal\u201d creator Nathan Fielder \u2014 who co-directed the film with Lance Oppenheim \u2014 adds an extra layer of intrigue.<\/p>\n

While I haven’t personally viewed the film, I can confirm the challenge of securing tickets in Manhattan: I spent considerable time yesterday seeking a showing for tonight and managed to find only one with available seats that weren\u2019t in the front row. (Yes, I am definitely going.)<\/p>\n

TechCrunch\u2019s Amanda Silberling managed to catch it on Thursday. She mentioned that the enigmatic Holmes seems to have finally encountered her match in Fielder, a deadpan comic who is arguably just as peculiar and enigmatic as she is. Fielder\u2019s month spent with Holmes is reportedly just the start of what appears to be an increasingly surreal, metatextual journey.<\/p>\n

The buzz surrounding \u201cYou Can See Everything\u201d might be making it tougher for other technology-focused films to gain traction. Aaron Sorkin\u2019s follow-up to \u201cThe Social Network,\u201d titled \u201cThe Social Reckoning,\u201d debuted to a disappointing $5.5 million last weekend and has already dropped out of the top 10 entirely. Meanwhile, Alex Gibney\u2019s four-hour documentary \u201cMusk\u201d \u2014 possibly hindered by pushback from social media platforms and its lengthy runtime \u2014 only earned $306,702 this weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
