411 Box Office Report: Clayface Wins Top Spot, You Can See Everything Rises In Second Weekend

DC won the weekend at the box office as Clayface took the top spot, while You Can See Everything turned up the dial on its fortunes. The DC Universe horror film clamed the #1 position with a $24 million start. That is roughly in line with where analysts were predicting it to land going into the frame. While the film is the lowest start for an entry in James Gunn’s DC Universe to date, it’s not a bad launch for the comic book universe’s first foray into the horror genre.

Clayface’s start is decent for a few reasons. For one, the film had a much lower profile than Superman or even Supergirl by virtue of its genre. Sure, comic book films still have a lot of cache and horror has been particularly hot in 2026, but cross blending superhero films with other genres has generally been a trickier proposition.

The clearest comparison is 2005’s Constantine, which launched to $29.8 million back in 2005, but even that was marketed more toward its superhero elements. Films like Brightburn, Darkman and Spawn all failed to strike a chord at the box office even if the latter two have since become cult favorites. It should also be noted that Clayface is a film focused around a second-tier Batman villain without any presence of the Dark Knight himself.

The good news for Warner Bros. here is threefold. First off, the James Watkins-directed film has scored good marks with critics and fans, with a 74% aggregated critic average at Rotten Tomatoes and a very good 94% RT audience rating. The CinemaScore is also very good at an A-, a rare mark for horror. Second off, the movie has no major competition coming in next weekend, which should help its legs along with the word of mouth.

And finally, Clayface was cheap for a comic book movie. The film cost $46 million to produce, which shouldn’t be too much of a problem for it to overcome. In addition to its domestic start, it added $22.5 million overseas for a $46.5 million worldwide launch. Its domestic number should come in around $70 million or so, which in addition to overseas tallies will put it as a successful venture for the studio.

Meanwhile, You Can See Everything stayed at #2 as it expanded its theater count and its weekend numbers. The Nathan Fielder documentary on Elizabeth Holmes jumped an eye-popping 25% from its hefty opening weekend to gross $19.5 million. That puts the buzzy film at $45.1 million domestic total so far, the 25th highest grossing documentary with room to grow.

A24 has already made plenty of profit on this $7 million budgeted film, and there’s more to come. It’s always dicey to predict legs for a documentary, but this one is likely going to make it to at least $75 million and probably higher, especially if it gets a re-release when award season starts.

Fathom Entertainment released Laika’s latest stop motion animated film Wildwood, which scored very good numbers with an $11 million opening. The family adventure film was a big improvement from their last entry, 2019’s Missing Link which opened to just $5.9 million.

Laika specializes in stop-motion, which is a hard sell for audiences in the era of CG animated films. Like its other films, Wildwood is a critical darling with a perfect 100% critic aggregate on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences who have seen it love it with a 97% RT audience rating and an A CinemaScore.

None of that is to say it will be profitable, because it won’t. The film cost $100 million and it won’t get that back. But that’s par for the course for the studio, who will recoup expenses on home video and might also get a re-release when it’s Oscar season for awards visibility. As of now, it will probably end with around $30 million domestically depending on how it is handled from here.

Street Fighter took a somewhat expected fall as it dove 72% in its second weekend to bring in $8.6 million. The Paramount-distributed video game adaptation was always going to drop against the competition from Clayface, and You Can See Everything becoming a sensation didn’t help.

As of now, Street Fighter is looking unlikely to be profitable in theaters. The $82 million-budgeted film has $46.4 million stateside and $79.6 million worldwide and will probably end its US run around $60 million to $65 million. Without any more overseas territories to open in, it will have to hope for digital viewing revenue to find a breakeven point.

Wicker opened at #5 with a respectable $5.8 million. That’s a little better than expected for the Black Bear-distributed fantasy romantic comedy. We can attribute that to the way the film set social media on fire when the trailer came online, making people a-flutter for Alexander Skarsgard’s wooden man.

The film wasn’t all hype though, as critics and audiences both love it at a 94% for both metrics on Rotten Tomatoes. The film is believed to have cost about $10 million and Black Bear will parlay those number into successful home video revenue. Domestically it will probably make it to around $15 million, which will be good enough.

Other Mommy slipped 53% in its third weekend to take in $3.9 million. The Jessica Chastain-led horror film is a hit for Universal with $51.5 million domestically and $94.9 million worldwide against a $19 million budget. It is aiming for about a $60 million final domestic gross.

Sense and Sensibility dropped 53% in its second weekend to gross $3.4 million, as not even Jane Austin can hold up against Elizabeth Holmes or Alexander Skaragard’s wooden body. The Georgia Oakley-directed film is doing decent if not stellar, with $13.7 million stateside and $29.4 million worldwide against a $25 million budget. It should finish off with about $20 million here.

Whalefall followed its low opening with a 59% drop to bring in $3.2 million in its sophomore weekend. The Austin Abrams-led film is a money loser with just $14.1 million in the US and $31.3 million worldwide opposite a $60 million production budget. It is unlikely to make it higher than $20 million.

Verity was down 49% in its fourth weekend to bring in $3.1 million. That puts the Colleen Hoover adaptation at $71.5 million in the US and $162.7 million worldwide against a budget of $40 million, a big profit. $75 million stateside is still the endgame.

Resident Evil closed the top 10 with a 45% drop in its sixth weekend with $3.0 million in its fifth frame. The horror film has now grossed $153.7 million domestically and $384.5 million worldwide, a huge hit against its $75 million budget. $160 million is still possible in the US.

Studios are foregoing wide releases next weekend, which means it will be a race for #1 between Clayface and You Can See Everything.
