Fahrenheit 9/11's mark, broken.
You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder's first feature as a director, made with Lance Oppenheim, took $19.5 million at the U.S. box office over the Oct. 23-25 weekend, its second in theaters. Wikipedia's box-office record says that broke the documentary record for a second weekend, the $16.3 million set by Fahrenheit 9/11.

A24 released the film in the U.S. and Canada on Oct. 16, in 855 theaters, and it opened with $15.6 million, the largest debut for a documentary feature since Fahrenheit 9/11 in June 2004.

More screens, or fuller ones.
A second weekend bigger than the first can come from word of mouth, from more theaters, or both, and the record checked here doesn't separate them. It gives the 855-theater opening count but not the second weekend's, so this issue can't say how much of the gain came from added screens. The critics' numbers measure critics, not audiences, so they make word of mouth plausible without showing it.
