Extra IDFA screenings of Elizabeth Holmes documentary sell out within minutes

Demand for tickets to the IDFA premiere of *You Can See Everything* is so high that two extra screenings sold out within minutes, the festival says. The documentary about former Theranos chief executive Elizabeth Holmes will premiere on Friday at Amsterdam’s Royal Theatre Carré.

Nieuws.nl reports that 1,429 people had registered on the ticket-resale platform TicketSwap as still looking for a ticket. An IDFA spokesperson said it had, as far as they knew, never before seen such a large rush for tickets to a film.

The festival is not currently expected to schedule further screenings, according to Nieuws.nl. The film is due to open in cinemas across the Netherlands in early January.

Directed by Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder, the documentary follows Holmes for a month before she went to prison. She was convicted of defrauding investors in 2022 and sentenced to more than 11 years. Nieuws.nl reports that the film has taken nearly $50 million in the US in two weeks.
