Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Leads Quiet Halloween Box Office
Follow spoken words in real time.
A new documentary film called You Can See Everything was the top movie in cinemas in the United States and Canada during the Halloween weekend. The film earned about $10.6 million from Friday to Sunday, just above the superhero horror movie Clayface, which made $10.4 million. This was surprising because documentaries usually do not earn more than big action films, and You Can See Everything is almost three hours long and has already been in cinemas for three weeks.
The main reason for this success is the story of Elizabeth Holmes. She was the founder of a company called Theranos, which said it could do many medical tests with only a small amount of blood. Many important people invested money in the company, but later it was discovered that the technology did not really work. Elizabeth Holmes was later found guilty of lying to investors.
Because of strong reviews and viewer interest in the true story, the documentary became very popular. By the end of the weekend, it had earned about $63.9 million. This is much more than the film’s cost of $7 million, making it a big commercial success.
