Summary

  • $24.5 million put DC’s lower-budget Clayface atop the domestic box office in its opening weekend, with a $43 million global start after earlier tracking pointed to a slightly lower debut.
  • The James Watkins-directed Batman spinoff drew strong audience response—an A- CinemaScore—and benefited from heavy promotion, while premium large formats delivered nearly half of domestic grosses despite no Imax screens.
  • $19.5 million in its second weekend lifted A24 documentary You Can See Everything to $45.1 million domestic, an unusual 25% gain after expanding from a limited launch to 2,655 theaters.
  • Elsewhere, Wildwood opened to $11.6 million in third, Street Fighter fell 72% to $8.6 million in its second weekend, and the overall North American market reached $101 million, up 33% from a year earlier.
