  "summary": "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.\n\nTheWrap 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.\n\nIn 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.",
