A24’s “You Can See Everything” has joined one of the most exclusive clubs in box-office history. The documentary crossed $50 million at the North American box office on October 29, reaching $50.9 million — becoming only the third non-music documentary ever to hit that mark domestically, and ranking third on the all-time list.
The nearly three-hour film chronicles Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes during the 34 days before she reported to prison. It expanded from 855 to 2,655 theaters last weekend and pulled in $19.5 million in its sophomore frame, up 25%. It also logged the second-biggest second Wednesday ever for a documentary — $2 million — behind only “Fahrenheit 9/11” at $2.6 million.
A24 is now eyeing a domestic total of $90–100 million depending on theater count and momentum. BoxOfficePro forecasts the film could top the domestic box office in its third weekend (October 30 – November 1, projected $12–17 million), battling “Clayface” in its second week. With Halloween falling on a Saturday this year and no major new releases opening, the frame is wide open for the documentary to claim the crown.
It is a remarkable run for a three-hour nonfiction film — and proof that, in the right moment, audiences will still turn out in force for a true story. Few analysts predicted documentary business at this scale in 2026; “You Can See Everything” has now beaten every expectation set for it, week after week. The Holmes saga, already the subject of books, a podcast and a scripted series, keeps finding new audiences in the cinema.
