This weekend, North American movie theaters were abuzz with a range of new films, including video game adaptations, big-budget thrillers, and classic literary transformations. Topping the box office charts was Paramount's “Street Fighter”, which secured the first place with an impressive $31 million from 3,575 theaters, according to studio estimates released on Sunday. However, much of the conversation centered around the nearly three-hour Elizabeth Holmes documentary, “You Can See Everything.”
Despite the competitive atmosphere, “You Can See Everything” generated an astounding $15 million from just 855 screens, achieving over 2,000 sellout showings throughout the weekend, as reported by A24. This remarkable performance marked the largest opening for a film playing on fewer than 1,000 screens since “Borat,” which grossed $26.5 million in 2006. Furthermore, it registered the largest opening for a non-music documentary in two decades, outpacing “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which earned nearly $24 million from 868 theaters, although these figures do not account for inflation.
This documentary catered to a predominantly younger demographic, with over 70% of its ticket buyers being under the age of 35. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the film chronicles the final days of disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes as she prepared to report to federal prison. The film's reviews have been exceptionally favorable, holding a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 99 on Metacritic, along with a rare 91% "definite recommend" rating from audiences according to PostTrak exit polls.
Produced at a budget of under $7 million and marketed for less than $10 million, "You Can See Everything" was described as a surprise success by Paul Dergarabedian, the head of marketplace trends for Rentrak. He noted that while on paper the concept of a three-hour documentary might seem daunting, Fielder's sizeable social media following and the inherently compelling story of Holmes made it an attractive offering.
Meanwhile, “Street Fighter” broke box office records with a global opening of $51 million, which included $20 million from international markets. The film, featuring actors Callina Liang, Noah Centineo, and Andrew Koji, had a production budget of approximately $82 million, not including marketing expenses. The audience for “Street Fighter” was predominantly male, with 69% of those attending being men.
The competition did not treat “Whalefall,” a $60 million survival thriller starring Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin, kindly this weekend. It managed to collect only $8 million from 3,065 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, despite receiving better reviews than “Street Fighter.” Additionally, it grossed $9.5 million internationally, bringing its total to $17.5 million globally and placing it in fourth behind “Other Mommy,” Jessica Chastain's horror film, which earned $8.4 million in its second weekend, totaling $44.9 million domestically.
Rounding out the top five was “Sense and Sensibility,” which secured around $7.3 million from 2,545 theaters. The Austen adaptation, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, attracted a younger audience, with 58% between ages 14 and 18 and 84% female attendees. It also received the strongest CinemaScore of the week, rated at an A-.
In a notable release from Warner Bros., a restored version of Ken Russell’s 1971 film, “The Devils,” was shown in 350 locations, earning $1.6 million and marking the initial entry from the studio's specialty label.
In another release, director Alex Gibney's documentary about Elon Musk, entitled “Musk,” expanded to 472 screens in North America, bringing in $306,702. However, the nearly four-hour film faced challenges in advertising on key social media platforms, including X and TikTok, resulting in the permanent suspension of its TikTok ad account.
The total ticket sales for the weekend reached approximately $101.6 million, which represents a significant 45% increase compared to the same weekend last year. Year-to-date, ticket sales have amassed to $8.2 billion, reflecting a nearly 20% rise since 2025.
