- 'You Can See Everything' opened to $15M from 855 theaters, the biggest documentary debut in over 20 years (since 2004's 'Fahrenheit 9/11') and the largest opening for any film on under 1,000 screens since 'Borat' in 2006
- A24 produced the Holmes documentary in secret over three years for roughly $7M, reporting more than 2,000 sold-out showings, with 70% of opening weekend crowds under 35 and 90% saying they would 'definitely recommend' the film
- Paramount's 'Street Fighter' debuted to $30M domestic and $51.1M global from 3,575 venues but earned a lukewarm B- CinemaScore and 42% on Rotten Tomatoes; Legendary and Capcom co-financed the $82M production
- 'Whalefall' missed expectations with $8M from 3,065 locations against a $60M budget, earning a 'B' CinemaScore and 71% on Rotten Tomatoes and needing heavy staying power to clear costs
- Focus Features' 'Sense and Sensibility' remake opened to $7.2M from 2,545 screens on a $25M budget, while Universal's 'Other Mommy' held third with $8.3M in its second weekend (a 70% decline), bringing its domestic running tally to $44.8M against an $18M budget
Why it matters: On a roughly $7M budget, A24's word-of-mouth Holmes doc nearly matched the studio's star-driven Zendaya-Pattinson drama 'The Drama' ($14.3M from 3,087 theaters) on a fraction of the screens — and the source states it will be far more profitable than Amazon MGM's $40M 'Melania' documentary, reinforcing A24's prestige-first, low-spend model as a reliable theatrical bet.
