π° What Happened
Two new films drew big crowds at the North American box office this weekend. Paramount's Street Fighter opened with about $31 million, with 45 percent of ticket buyers men over 35.
A24's three-hour documentary You Can See Everything, about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, took in $12 million to $14 million on 855 screens. That makes it the second-best opening ever for a documentary. Cinemas in New York and Nashville reported lines around the block.
π The Backstory
Holmes started Theranos, a blood-testing company that collapsed in scandal eight years ago. Her story was already told in the Hulu series The Dropout.
The new film is directed by Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder, and A24 surprised audiences with a secret premiere at the Telluride festival. Only Fahrenheit 9/11, in 2004, has had a bigger documentary opening.
π― Why It Matters
It shows people will still go to cinemas for a documentary. It also shows a familiar scandal can pull a young crowd, with 62 percent of buyers aged 18 to 34.
