A lot of people saw You Can See Everything this weekend

Audiences really turned out this weekend to see You Can See Everything, the documentary filmed in the days leading up to the prison sentence of Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes. According to Variety, the film earned $15 million in its opening weekend, an impressive feat for any documentary made even more impressive when we remember it only played in 855 theaters. The trade reports that it’s the highest gross for a film playing in fewer than 1,000 theaters since Borat opened in 2006. You Can See Everything, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, has also proved popular with audiences, with 90% of exit poll respondents saying they would recommend it to a friend. 

Overall, however, You Can See Everything opened in second place to Street Fighter, which brought in $31 million domestically and totalled over $51 million with overseas grosses included. This represents a decent start for the video game-turned-action film, but Street Fighter is still a ways from breaking even given that it cost $82 million to produce. At least one of the cast members—50 Cent—was pleased with the result and that his film beat another very silly new movie. “You know damn well I wasn’t gonna be beat by a damn whale movie LOL,” he wrote on Instagram, and he’s right; Whalefall only opened to $8 million in the U.S., landing in fourth place. Austin Abrams and his whale did manage to beat Sense And Sensibility, however, which came in at fifth place with $7.25 million. Take a look at the whole top ten below, courtesy of Box Office Mojo.
