· Confirmed
In Short: The documentary 'You Can See Everything' held onto the number-two spot for a second week, trailing just behind the superhero film 'Clayface' but outperforming expectations.
The documentary 'You Can See Everything' held onto its number-two spot for a second week, trailing just behind the latest big-budget superhero movie, 'Clayface,' which played on 800 more screens. 'You Can See Everything' netted just over $15 million in its opening weekend, outperforming expectations.
According to A.V. Club, 'You Can See Everything' held onto its number-two spot for a second week, with 'Clayface' leading the domestic box office. 'Clayface' grossed $24 million domestically and $43 million globally, while 'You Can See Everything' earned $15 million in its opening weekend.
Deadline reported that both 'You Can See Everything' and 'Clayface' remained above $10 million in what is not the worst weekend this year at the domestic box office, with all titles grossing north of $63 million.
Entertainment Weekly noted that 'Clayface' is on its way to the black, despite a budget of $30-44 million, and is expected to take a few more weeks to break even. Meanwhile, 'You Can See Everything' is projected to drop 43% from its $19.5 million second weekend, bringing its domestic total to approximately $63 million.
Comicbasics reported that 'Clayface' was expected to take the lead with an estimated $23 million to $25 million opening across 3,458 theaters, while 'You Can See Everything' was close behind at about $19 million.
Polygon noted that while 'Clayface' grossed $24.5 million, it was not considered a flop, especially given its A- Cinemascore and 94% user average on Rotten Tomatoes.
The News International reported that 'You Can See Everything' continued its box-office streak, while 'Clayface' posted $3.3 million in Friday earnings, with weekend earnings projected at $10.25 million, bringing its North American haul to $36.9 million.
A.V. Club highlighted that 'You Can See Everything' has already made history as one of the top documentaries of its decade, maybe of all time, and has gotten people back into theaters to see a nonfiction film that makes them think twice about what they're watching.
The documentary 'You Can See Everything' has been building momentum all week, with younger audiences especially drawn to Fielder's unusual access to Holmes. 'You Can See Everything' is putting up numbers no documentary has hit in two decades, and it expands nationwide the same day 'Clayface' opens.
What this adds
The documentary 'You Can See Everything' has been drawing record audiences to cinemas, making it one of the top documentaries of its decade. 'Clayface,' a R-rated DC body horror film, has been flying high at the box office but is expected to see a significant drop in its second weekend.
