You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, has finally hit theaters after a marketing campaign shrouded in secrecy. Well, it seems that the audience can hardly bear the wait. Eager to make sure they didn't suffer any spoilers, crowds turned out for Thursday's preview screening of the A24 documentary. It grossed $1.75 million from just 855 screens.

You Can See Everything was expected to earn between $7 million and $8 million over the weekend. That's huge for a non-musical documentary (Taylor Swift's "Periods Tour," for example, earned $92.8 million in its debut. But films without impressive playlists, such as 2018's "RBG," which grossed $14.4 million, are considered significant box office hits with far fewer sales. "You Can See Everything" earned half of RBG's total in one weekend. Related stories a Richard Gere's forgotten vehicle from his heyday is back in the swing.

This movie has several things. We simply can't afford Theranos founder Seir Schweimholms, who was billed in glossy magazine profiles as the next generation of Einstein until his blood-testing technology turned out to be a fraud. There are bestselling books, podcasts, an Alex Gibney documentary, and an Emmy-winning series starring Amanda Seyfried as a Silicon Valley villain. But the market for all things Holmes is apparently not yet saturated.

In addition, Fielder has developed a following through the Comedy Central reality show "Nathan for You" and the HBO comedy-documentary "The Practice," in which he turned social awkwardness into an art form. And Oppenheim is riding high after another A24 hit, "Primetime," starring Robert Pattinson as "To Catch a Predator" host Chris Hensen. It has grossed over $42 million domestically on a budget of $15 million.

"You Can See Everything" faces some serious competition this weekend, including Paramount's "Street Fighter" opening. But based on its Thursday previews, Fielder and Oppenheim's documentary is out for blood.
