Confirmed
In Short: Clayface, the Warner Bros. film starring Tom Rhys Harries as the Batman villain, debuted at No. 1 with $10.4 million on its opening Friday, according to Cosmic Book News and Deadline.
Clayface, the Warner Bros. film starring Tom Rhys Harries as the Batman villain, debuted at No. 1 with $10.4 million on its opening Friday, according to Cosmic Book News and Deadline. The film is projected to earn between $23 million and $25 million over the weekend.
The documentary 'You Can See Everything,' directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, added $6.14 million on Friday, bringing its total to $44.6 million to $45.6 million after two weeks in theaters. The film is expanding nationwide as Clayface opens.
Cosmic Book News reported that Clayface is projected to earn between $25 million and $30 million over the weekend. The film's audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 95%, and it received $3.5 million in Thursday previews.
Deadline noted that 'You Can See Everything' is seeing significant social media engagement, with a reach of 130 million across TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube, and Instagram. The documentary is projected to earn between $19 million and $20 million over the weekend.
The Wrap reported that 'You Can See Everything' could potentially take the top spot away from Clayface. The film has already outpaced the IP tentpole project 'Street Fighter' at the box office, averaging about $17,543 per theater.
Variety noted that 'Clayface' has a production budget of $44 million, a fraction of the budget of DC's recent adaptations. The film has impressed critics more than 'Supergirl,' with a 76 score from reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes and a 94 from audiences.
The Hollywood Reporter highlighted that 'Clayface' has a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and an A CinemaScore. The film's success is particularly critical for Warner Bros. following the underperformance of 'Supergirl.'
FanBolt reported that Clayface's performance on Friday averaged a little over $3,000 per theater, and Saturday will decide how big the opening weekend really gets.
Showbiz411 noted that 'You Can See Everything' has made $31.7 million domestically so far, and Nathan Fielder is having a field day with the semi-documentary.
The Movie Blog suggested that the upcoming release of Clayface is shaping up to be a more competitive weekend at the multiplex than initially anticipated, with a tight race for the top spot.
Variety's Guy Lodge called the film 'its own ugly animal,' noting that the characters and conflicts introduced in Clayface are fresh and enjoyable in the context of a single, genre-melding romp.
What this adds
Clayface's opening weekend is projected to be in the mid-$20 millions, landing at roughly 65% of the debut for about a quarter of the spend.
Background
Clayface, the Warner Bros. film starring Tom Rhys Harries as the Batman villain, soared to the top of the box office with an estimated $24 million in its first weekend, according to Deadline.
The documentary 'You Can See Everything,' directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, has surpassed box office expectations, opening to an estimated $15 million domestically and taking the No.
Clayface is an alias used by several characters appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Most incarnations of the character possess clay-like bodies and shapeshifting abilities, and all of them are adversaries of the superhero Batman.
You Can See Everything is a 2026 American meta-documentary film directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. It follows Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the defunct health technology company Theranos, and her partner Billy Evans, who invited a film crew to document them beginning in the weeks before Holmes began serving a United States federal prison sentence for defrauding investors.
