“You Can See Everything” is on track to become one of the highest-grossing documentaries of all time. Here are four takeaways from its surprise success: 1) Restraint bolstered demand: A24 initially released the film in 855 theaters, expanding its footprint as word of mouth grew. 2) Secrecy dialed up anticipation: Nobody knew the Nathan Fielder doc existed until its surprise world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival in early September (nothing short of a miracle in Hollywood). 3) Word-of-mouth elevated ticket sales in the movie’s second weekend: 90% of initial ticket buyers said they would “definitely recommend” the film, while 80% said it was “even better than expected.” 4) Younger audiences are all in on A24: Roughly 70% of opening weekend ticket buyers were under 35; this year’s lineup of “The Drama,” “Backrooms” and “Primetime” also scored big among Gen Zers. wp.me/pc8uak-1lI2b7
