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.
You Can See Everything, a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, earned $19.5 million in its second weekend, marking the second-best opening ever for a non-music documentary at the box office, after Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.
The film, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, expanded to about 2,600 theaters this weekend, leading to box office projections of at least $18 million in its second weekend.
According to Variety, A24’s You Can See Everything could collect $20 million to $25 million as it expands to 2,600 venues in its second weekend, putting it in direct competition with Clayface, projected at $25 million to $35 million from 3,400 North American theaters.
Clayface, directed by Laika chief executive Travis Knight, rode excellent reviews and strong audience scores (an “A” CinemaScore) to a notable improvement over the studio’s previous release: 2019’s The Missing Link (a $5.9 million opening).
The film, which centers on a Batman villain that has not previously been a household name for general audiences, is well-positioned to ultimately hit a profit through ancillary markets, according to FranchiseRe.
You Can See Everything, which follows Holmes and her partner Billy Evans beginning in the weeks before Holmes began serving a United States federal prison sentence for defrauding investors, earned a huge $45.1 million domestically to date.
The film’s production budget rivals or even exceeds those of Disney and Pixar’s animated tentpoles, making it a significant release for Laika.
According to TheWrap, DC Studios’ mid-budget horror film shows promising start amidst a rough box office year for Warner Bros.
The AMC Burbank theater is once again leading the pack with a new entry this weekend, grossing $21,000.
While Deadline's reported $24.5 million gross for Clayface comes in under Superman and Supergirl's opening weekends, it's not considered a flop.
Generally, audiences are liking Clayface as it has an A- Cinemascore and a 94% user average on Rotten Tomatoes.

What's confirmed
- DC Studios scored a modest, R-rated win with “Clayface,” landing a $24 million opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.
What's still developing
- Halloween weekend is usually a safe bet for horror, and DC Studios was counting on exactly that.
- One non-A24 distribution head remarked over the weekend that more “tease” platforming ala You Can See Everything ‘s should be executed more by the industry to create anticipation for audiences (tell that to the studio bosses who are always eager to monetize the next window on a wide release).
- A24 had a plan to go in under 1,000 theaters with You Can See Everything last weekend, creating a cultural buzz with sellouts, before going wide this weekend.
- That’s exactly what happened, as the film directed by Host helmer Rob Savage suffered a devastating 70 percent drop, earning just $8.35 million in its second weekend.
- Its domestic total is an excellent $44 million, but the thinking is this will play extremely well throughout the entire fourth quarter, leading up to it being a major Oscar contender.
- Breaking news for Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties “Clayface” opened with $24 million this weekend to lead all movies in North America, according to industry estimates released Sunday.
- Rounding out the top 10 releases were “Other Mommy” ($3.85 million), “Sense and Sensibility” ($3.4 million), “Whalefall” ($3.2 million), “Verity” ($3.06 million) and “Resident Evil” ($3 million).
- Olivia Colman, left, and Alexander Skarsgård arrive at the premiere of "Wicker" on Tuesday, Oct.
- Ticket sales for “You Can See Everything” are 28% above its launch of $15.6 million from 855 theaters, which marked the best start for a nonmusical documentary in 20 years.
