Clayface Gives Skydance Its Second Box Office Weekend Win In A Row

The DC Studios body horror film Clayface earned the top spot at the domestic box office during its opening weekend. Polygon reports the film grossed $24.5 million, while TheWrap and Variety report a $24 million domestic opening. Globally, TheWrap estimates the film's opening weekend reached $43 million. The film's success marks the second consecutive week that Skydance, the company formed by the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros., has topped the box office.

TheWrap reports that Clayface had a production budget of approximately $40 million and has received strong audience reception, including an A- CinemaScore and a 4.5/5 on PostTrak. The studio's performance this year has been difficult, with no films grossing more than $250 million worldwide to date.

In second place, A24’s documentary You Can See Everything earned $19.5 million in its second weekend. Variety notes the three-hour film earned almost as much as the new comic book adaptation, and TheWrap reports this figure represents a 23% increase from the documentary's opening week.
