As predicted, A24’s latest documentary has created history at the box office on its opening day. Despite other new releases, the film has earned more than Whalefall and Sense And Sensibility at the domestic box office on its opening day. Additionally, the film has been released in fewer than 1,000 screens in the country. Co-directed by Primetime filmmaker Lance Oppenheim, the film premiered at a festival last month. It is expected to shine at the box office, marking another success for A24.
A24 has had a great year so far, with films like The Drama, Backrooms, and Primetime making a mark at the box office. With the new documentary, the studio is set to continue its winning streak. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the movie was reportedly shot in secret and premiered as a surprise screening at the 53rd Telluride Film Festival last month.
You Can See Everything Opening Day
The documentary has made history at the US box office with its $5.5 million opening, including $1.8 million from Thursday previews. The film opened in just 855 theaters. Despite its three-hour runtime, the film found its audience on opening day, owing to the critical reception it received during festival rounds.

Beats Genre’s Decade-Long Record
With its stellar opening, You Can See Everything has recorded the biggest opening day for a documentary in a decade. It has surpassed the record held by Melania over the past year. The film, which was released in 1,778 theaters, had an opening of $2.8 million. It is also ahead of documentaries like They Shall Not Grow Old ($2.3 million), After Death ($2.2 million), and Born in China ($1.6 million).
The film is all set to have a historic debut weekend. It will crush Melania’s $7 million debut, setting the record for the biggest opening weekend for a documentary in over a decade. The film is now eyeing a $10–14 million three-day opening weekend, depending on how frontloaded its run is. It will probably rank at #2 at the US box office, surpassing new releases Whalefall and Sense And Sensibility.
