A24’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything, surprised Hollywood by debuting to $15 million in limited release.

The Big Picture: With a few notable exceptions, docs don’t typically make much in theaters; they gain traction on streaming or VOD instead. That’s because they’ve rarely been considered must-see events that can compete with studio blockbusters. But YCSE’s success proves that the right subject, filmmakers, and marketing campaign can change that narrative.

Behind The Scenes: Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s Elizabeth Holmes doc has become one of the year’s most talked-about movies.

Final Cut: How a three-hour documentary about the founder of Theranos that wasn’t on anyone’s radar two months ago made such a splash speaks to A24’s marketing genius. A meme-making teaser, a surprise screening at the Telluride Film Festival, and some striking billboards were enough to excite audiences and generate real critical buzz. In fact, awards analysts believe it could become the first documentary ever nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.

Not bad for a movie that A24 told Fielder and Oppenheim could be quietly scrapped if they couldn’t figure out a story to tell.

Coming Soon: With the movie opening wider this weekend, it could have a real shot at becoming the No. 1 movie at the box office.

AI titans are battling to give Americans a piece of their wealth.

Why It Hits: Plenty has been written about how AI will disrupt every aspect of life… and Americans are growing concerned about the government’s lack of a plan to deal with it. To reverse the blowback, Silicon Valley has woken up to the fact that it’s going to need to voluntarily give people a cut of the potentially unprecedented revenue the tech could rake in.

Behind The Shares: Suddenly, every AI CEO wants to be Willy Wonka.

Final Tally: How Amodei’s public benefit fund will actually improve the lives of everyday Americans and how Musk’s shares will be distributed (Trump Accounts have been floated as a possibility) are still big questions. But what’s clear is a growing feeling that some promise of giving needs to be made before AI fully embeds itself across the business ecosystem. Even OpenAI’s Sam Altman funded the largest universal basic income study ever.

In other words, everything’s on the table.

The Future: Eventually, the US government will need to step up and provide a funding mechanism to offset looming job losses — and it might need to do so through some form of public-private partnership.

“Sounds like a bad rollercoaster.”

“Won’t touch any of his toys.”

“At this point, anything outside of ‘cure for major disease’ or ‘UBI for all’ that comes from Elon Musk, I do not care for or about.”

“When is he going to fix world hunger?”

“Hell of a marketing stunt. Not particularly impressed by it for any practical use. Classic Elon smoke and mirrors, and once again, he gets his headlines.”

“It looked cool, but then they had to admit that they took out the whole interior to get the boosters in to make it fly, so I’m not sure that counts as a functional car!”
