‘Clayface’ Earns $43 Million Global Box Office Launch As ‘You Can See Everything’ Rises 23% in Second Weekend

Warner Bros. gained a glimmer of hope in their otherwise challenging year with the promising launch of DC Studios' "Clayface," which opened to a substantial $24 million domestically and $43 million globally during its opening weekend. Despite being a body horror film centered around a Batman villain, the movie was budgeted like a traditional New Line horror film, with a reported production spend of around $40 million.

It has earned a strong audience reception with an A- CinemaScore and a 4.5/5 rating on PostTrak, setting the stage for a robust second weekend performance, especially as a Halloween offering. The studio has yet to release a film that has grossed over $250 million worldwide this year, but "Clayface" is expected to be a strong mid-budget success as Warner's first film under Skydance ownership.

Meanwhile, A24's "You Can See Everything" is rapidly climbing the charts, having achieved an impressive $19.5 million in its second weekend, marking a 23% increase from its opening weekend after expanding to 2,655 locations. With $45 million in domestic grosses so far, this documentary could soon surpass A24's previous high-grossing release "Primetime," which has grossed $46.4 million through Sunday.

If it continues its exceptional pace, it may soon outshine A24's holiday hit "Marty Supreme," which grossed $96 million domestically during the holiday season last year.
