‘Clayface’ leads box office with $24 million as ticket sales surge 22%

A24's documentary "You Can See Everything" has been a surprising success, pulling in $19.5 million during its first weekend of wide release. The film has drawn a significant following among Gen Z moviegoers, and its prospects in the awards season are growing. If nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, it would be the first documentary to achieve such a feat.

In contrast, Warner Bros.' "Clayface" opened with $24 million in its first weekend, placing it second in the box office. The R-rated superhero film starring Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, a movie star who undergoes experimental facial surgery, was budgeted at $44 million and had a modest international gross of $19 million. Despite the fierce competition for horror audiences in October, "Clayface" managed to be the top genre draw of the month with an "A-" CinemaScore and positive reviews.
