A24’s documentary about Elizabeth Holmes made more money in its second weekend than in its first — an outcome box-office results almost never produce — after the distributor expanded the film from 855 theaters to 2,655. “You Can See Everything,” directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, follows the Theranos founder and her partner, Billy Evans, in the month before she reported to prison. Its domestic total now stands at $45.1 million, according to Variety, or about $45 million, according to ComicBasics.

The second-weekend gross itself is reported at two figures. Variety and The Numbers put it at $19.5 million; Media Play News put it at around $20 million. Both figures represent an increase over the film’s $15.6 million opening weekend, which was earned on 855 screens. The size of the increase is also reported differently: Variety and Media Play News put the rise at 28 percent above the opening; DiscussingFilm put it at 25 percent; ComicBasics put it at 23 percent. The reported figures differ, but every outlet reporting the weekend recorded a rise, driven by the expansion to 2,655 theaters.

The opening had already set marks for its category. The $15.6 million start, from 855 screens, was the best opening for a nonmusical documentary in 20 years, Variety reported, and the second-biggest opening ever for a non-musical documentary, behind only “Fahrenheit 9/11,” according to ComicBasics. Second-weekend grosses ordinarily fall after an opening; this film’s rose because it was playing in more than three times as many theaters as the week before.

The film runs 174 minutes and is Certified Fresh at 98 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Its opening-weekend audience skewed young: 70 percent of ticket buyers were under 35, according to ComicBasics. ComicBasics also reported that A24 plans a Best Picture campaign for the film, which would be a first for a documentary.

“You Can See Everything” follows Holmes and Evans during the month before she reported to prison. Holmes is the founder of Theranos. Fielder and Oppenheim directed the film, and A24 released it first on 855 screens before widening it to 2,655 for the second weekend, the expansion that produced the second-weekend rise the trades reported.

Reports around the film’s next steps center on the awards season. ComicBasics reported that A24 plans a Best Picture campaign for the documentary, which would be a first for a documentary, and that the opening-weekend audience was 70 percent under 35 — the demographic breakdown from the film’s first three days on 855 screens. With a 98 percent Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a running time of 174 minutes, the film widened into 2,655 theaters for its second weekend, and every reported gross rose with it.

The weekend’s reported totals, as published: a second weekend of $19.5 million (Variety; The Numbers) or around $20 million (Media Play News); growth of 28 percent (Variety; Media Play News), 25 percent (DiscussingFilm) or 23 percent (ComicBasics) over the $15.6 million opening; and a domestic total of $45.1 million (Variety) or about $45 million (ComicBasics) after two weekends in release.
