Why you can’t see ‘You Can See Everything’ (and when that might change)

A24’s You Can See Everything has swiftly become the must-see movie in theaters across the U.S.

Opening on Oct. 16, the critically acclaimed documentary from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim about Elizabeth Holmes made a remarkable $15 million over the weekend, coming in #2 behind Street Fighter. More incredibly, You Can See Everything managed to earn the biggest opening of any documentary of the decade, while running nearly three hours and debuting in limited release.

Yes, the internet is obsessed with You Can See Everything, championing the doc as a movie one must see in theaters with a crowd. But opening in fewer than 1,000 theaters, the film has become a hard-to-get ticket. The New York Times reported the film sold out over 2,000 showtimes so far.

“You Can See Everything showtimes” is a trending search term on Google, and aspiring moviegoers are expressing frustrations online about sold-out screenings.
