‘Clayface’ Beams $43M WW Opening, Delivers Paramount-Warner Bros. Second No. 1 Weekend Win Since Merger – Global Box Office

The newly combined Paramount-Warner Bros merger (aka Skydance) saw its second back-to-back No. 1 weekend win at the global box office with DC’s Clayface which filed $43M WW. Is this the new norm? A continual weekend win by Skydance? Should the platinum studio Disney be worried? Even if A24’s You Can See Everything pops to […]

‘Clayface’ Beams $43M WW Opening, Delivers Paramount-Warner Bros. Second No. 1 Weekend Win Since Merger – Global Box Office

Warner Bros./DC Studios' "Clayface" topped the box office with a $10.4 million opening day, marking a respectable start for the $40 million film at 3,458 locations. This success comes as a bright spot for the studio after a challenging 2026, marked by flops like "Digger," "Supergirl," and "Practical Magic 2." "Clayface" is expected to maintain its performance through Halloween, potentially turning into a modest mid-budget theatrical success for Warner Bros.

Meanwhile, A24's "You Can See Everything" saw a 28% rise from its opening weekend after expanding to 2,655 locations, grossing an estimated $20 million. This brings the documentary about Elizabeth Holmes to an estimated $45 million domestic total, positioning it for a potential pass of director Lance Oppenheim's other film, "Primetime," this coming Monday.

In third place, Laika's "Wildwood" opened at $4.3 million from 2,752 locations, aiming for an $11-12 million weekend. Despite its high production budget, the film will likely not turn a profit for the privately-owned animation studio. In fourth, Paramount/Legendary's "Street Fighter" dropped 73% from its $31 million opening to $8.4 million in its second weekend, totaling $46.7 million domestically.

While this marks a theatrical dud for Skydance, Legendary should recover losses with "Dune 3" this winter. Lastly, Black Bear's "Wicker," a fantasy romantic comedy starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgard, opened at $6 million from 1,471 locations, with strong RT scores of 94% critics and 95% audience. This film is expected to be a step forward for Black Bear as it continues to expand its presence in U.S. theatrical distribution.
