The popularity of You Can See Everything apparently transcended earthly measures. Almost three weeks after the almost 3-hour documentary about the terrible former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes was premiered in cinemas at home, the studio A24 is showing it in space.
The studio said in an A24 Instagram post that it had agreed to NASA’s request to show the film to astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
A representative for A24 did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
I’d say this was surprising news, but after seeing the impact the movie had on Halloween, it makes perfect sense. You can see everything is a phenomenon.
At my daughter’s school, I saw a little kid dressed as Holmes, which was certainly a choice. People all over my social feeds were dressed as the infamous egg cups from the movie (IYKYK). Heck, the friend I saw the movie with took my idea and dressed in all black, with old-school headphones and an emo hairdo, and carried a laptop on the Nathan Fielder channel.
You Can See Everything, co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, was initially slated for a limited theatrical release in the United States. After three weeks, the documentary hit No. 1 at the box office last weekend, beating out DC’s Clayface for the top spot.
Now audiences around the world are clamoring to get a taste of the film.
But they still have to wait. UK moviegoers won’t be able to see it until November 20. It arrives in France on December 30, and while Sony Pictures has acquired the rights to release You Can See Everything in countries like Germany, South Korea and Latin America, no dates have been announced yet.
That said, the lucky astronauts in low Earth orbit will soon be watching yellow mixing bowls on the sidelines, questioning every move of Holmes’ partner, Billy Evans, and simply wanting more Amanda Seyfried in their lives.
For a movie that is already super disorienting, one has to assume that removing gravity from the equation will take watching You Can See Everything to the next level.
