A24’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything and Warner Bros.’ DC Studios release Clayface are running neck and neck at the domestic box office, with the non-fiction feature holding a slight edge during a subdued Halloween weekend, according to Sunday studio figures reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Box Office Battle for Top Spot Domestic Numbers
Directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s three-hour documentary You Can See Everything looks to win its third weekend with $10.6 million from 3,243 North American locations, bringing its domestic cume to $63.8 million. The Oscar-buzzed film declines around 43 percent for a frame where studios avoided new releases due to Halloween falling on a Saturday.
Just behind is James Watkins’ body horror feature Clayface, which is projected to gross $10.4 million in its sophomore frame from 3,478 domestic theaters. The $44 million-budgeted Warner Bros. release marks DC Studios’ third theatrical title under bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran, bringing its two-week North American sum to $44.1 million after a 56 percent decline.
Industry Impact of a Saturday Halloween
Overall domestic box office totals for the weekend hit $55.6 million, down 42.1 percent from the previous weekend, per Rentrak data published by The Hollywood Reporter. However, that figure represents a 4.2 percent uptick over the $49 million collected during the equivalent weekend in 2025.
“Historical challenges can spook studios away from launching a major film into the marketplace,” Rentrak’s Paul Dergarabedian tells The Hollywood Reporter, citing competition from parties and trick-or-treating on moviegoing’s biggest night. He notes that the lack of a splashy opener limits October’s closing boost, though the broader horror genre remains remarkably strong.
