You Can See Everything

The documentary you Can See Everything has become a new sensation in the North American box office after printing the opening points far above the prediction, which is US $15 million or equal to Rp270.5 billion (US $1 = Rp18.039).

That income only comes from 855 theaters, where the entire film show was reported A24 as a studio, a sweet sold alias sold out with 70 percent views under 35 years old.

With that result, such as Variety, it's the biggest debut for a movie that's been on less than 1,000 screens since Borat (2006) which has reached US $26 million out of 837 theaters, not adjusted to inflation.

In addition, it's the biggest opening for a documentary in over 20 years, since Fahrenheit 9 / 11, which is a $24 million debut of 868 theaters, unadjusted to inflation.

You Can See Everything's ticket sales are also classified, not just for documentary movies, but also for arthouse movies in general today.

The achievement of Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's documentary on the lives of Elizabeth Holmes made 'only' for the US $7 million is far above the previous prediction.

Variety says that the film is originally judged will only earn US $7-8 million, which is actually very impressive for documentary classes, let alone not musical themes, or featuring popular artists, and tripled with promotion.

But the shocking screening of this film at the Telluride Film Festival, powered by the testimonials of previous audiences, as well as various critics' compliments, pushed the film that was secretly produced into a sensation when it was announced two months ago.

A24 reports over 2,000 tickets are sold out. The crowd is caving in to the cinema to avoid a story leak, which is considered to be more odd than when a film of fiction remembers this film is a documentary.

You Can See Everything follows the story of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos health technology company who has now closed, along with his partner, Billy Evans.

They both invited a film production team to document their lives, starting several weeks before Holmes started serving federal prisons in the United States due to fraud cases against investors.

Variety says public, especially young people, seem very fascinated by the drama surrounding Holmes, whose tale of resurrection up to its dramatic fall was never lifted in the Hulu series, The Dropout, starring Amanda Seyfried.

But the enthusiasm for You Can See Everything that makes this film debut in second place on the weekend box ladder of North America also shows the commercial appeal of Nathan Fielder.

Fielder is known to combine reality and fiction through works like The Rehearsal on HBO and Nathan For You in Comedy Central.

"It's a remarkable weekend for this genre," said the analyst David A. Gross of FranchiseRe. "The documentary rarely gets a full release - usually only happens once every two years - and its average income is at US $3 million in the first three days."

Meanwhile, Street Fighter debut first place with a US $31 million payoff. According to Box Office Mojo's data, this film also got US $20.1 million in international markets so its first global income is US $51.1 million.

Third place occupied by Other Mommy who last week was at the top. This time, the movie that Jessica Chastain starred got US $8.3 million so that her financial income became US $44.8 million.

Whalefall debut in fourth place with US spending $8 million, while he made US $9.5 million in international markets, thereby burning his global supply into US $17.5 million. Sense and Sensibility debut in position five with US produce $7.25 million.
