North American movie theaters saw a surge of new films this weekend, including a reboot of a popular video game, a high-budget survival thriller, and an adaptation of a classic Jane Austen novel. Paramount's "Street Fighter" claimed the top box office spot, bringing in $31 million from 3,575 theaters, as reported by studio estimates on Sunday. However, much of the weekend's cultural conversation centered around the nearly three-hour Elizabeth Holmes documentary, "You Can See Everything."
"You Can See Everything" achieved remarkable success, generating $15 million from just 855 screens, which included over 2,000 sellout showings. This performance was particularly noteworthy as it marked the largest opening for a film shown on fewer than 1,000 screens since "Borat" debuted to $26.5 million in 2006, and it represented the most substantial opening for a non-music documentary in two decades, surpassing "Fahrenheit 9/11," which earned nearly $24 million from 868 theaters. Notably, these figures do not factor in inflation.
The film's appeal was significantly driven by a younger demographic, with over 70% of its opening weekend audience aged under 35. Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, "You Can See Everything" was produced in secret over three years. Fielder spent more than a month with Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of Theranos, capturing her life in the days leading up to her reporting to federal prison. The film has received overwhelmingly positive reviews, boasting a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a score of 99 on Metacritic, along with a remarkable 91% "definite recommend" rating from audiences in PostTrak exit polls.
The documentary had a modest production budget of under $7 million and marketing costs of less than $10 million. Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends for Rentrak, commented on the film's unexpected success, noting that while a three-hour documentary might seem daunting, Fielder's popularity and the compelling nature of Holmes’ story drew significant interest.
In contrast, "Street Fighter" topped the box office as anticipated, achieving a global opening of $51 million, which included $20 million from international markets. Starring Callina Liang, Noah Centineo, and Andrew Koji, the film had an estimated production budget of $82 million, excluding marketing expenses, with audiences comprising 69% male viewers.
The success of "Street Fighter" and "You Can See Everything" appeared to negatively impact the performance of "Whalefall," a $60 million survival thriller featuring Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin, which grossed $8 million from 3,065 locations across the U.S. and Canada. This film, despite receiving better reviews than "Street Fighter," faced competition and opened in fourth place. It added $9.5 million from international screenings, culminating in a global total of $17.5 million.
The horror film "Other Mommy," starring Jessica Chastain, secured third place with an earnings report of $8.4 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to $44.9 million. Following it was the adaptation of Jane Austen’s "Sense and Sensibility," which earned an estimated $7.3 million from 2,545 theaters, drawing a predominantly younger audience, with 58% aged 14 to 18 and 84% being female. The film received an A- CinemaScore, indicating favorable audience reception.
In other releases, Warner Bros. presented a restored version of Ken Russell’s 1971 film "The Devils," which garnered $1.6 million from 350 locations, marking the inaugural release from the studio's specialty label. Additionally, Alex Gibney's documentary "Musk," exploring Elon Musk's life, expanded to 472 screens, grossing $306,702. The nearly four-hour film encountered challenges with advertising on major social media platforms, particularly X and TikTok.
Netflix also reported box office figures for the first time for “La Bola Negra,” a queer Spanish film that made $277,500 from four locations. This release is being positioned as a potential contender for the Oscars and will remain in theaters for 47 days before its availability on the streaming platform.
The overall weekend box office reached approximately $101.6 million, a 45% increase from the same weekend the previous year. Year-to-date ticket sales amount to $8.2 billion, showing a nearly 20% increase compared to 2025.
