Elizabeth Holmes Documentary and Clayface Battle for First Place at Domestic Box Office
Both A24’s documentary “You Can See Everything” and DC’s comic book adaptation “Clayface” are contending for the top spot domestically, with each picture projected to bring in approximately $10.5 million over the weekend. “You Can See Everything” pulls ahead by a narrow margin with $10.6 million while growing its theater count to 3,242 locations during its third frame. Meanwhile, “Clayface” sits just behind with $10.4 million from 3,478 theaters in its sophomore outing. The A24 documentary has a domestic haul of $63.9 million, while the DC spinoff stands at $44.1 million in North America.
Halloween Weekend Box Office Totals Reach Sixty Million Dollars
Total ticket sales spanning Friday through Sunday came to approximately $60 million, registering as one of the quietest frames of the year. Cinema owners faced a slow Halloween period due to the lack of new releases and the holiday landing on a Saturday. Rentrak’s head of marketplace trends Paul Dergarabedian stated that families preferred trick-or-treating over visiting local multiplexes. Despite the sluggish performance, current weekend receipts improved over 2025’s Halloween weekend, which generated $49 million across all films led by the Colleen Hoover adaptation “Regretting You” and “Black Phone 2.”
Budget Figures and Global Earnings for Top Contenders
“You Can See Everything” supplanted Michael Moore’s “Bowling for Columbine” to become the 18th highest-grossing documentary of all time. Produced on a budget of $7 million, the nearly three-hour film has yet to open internationally. Conversely, the R-rated “Clayface” generated $83 million globally against a $44 million production budget. The picture forms part of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s efforts to revitalize DC and make it a true competitor to Marvel, following the 2025 success of “Superman” and the financial struggles of “Supergirl.”
Holdovers and Limited Releases Across the Multiplex
Laika’s stop-motion animated fantasy “Wildwood” remained at No. 3 with $7.5 million in its sophomore outing, a 39% drop. The film has earned $25 million domestically and $35 million globally, though its $100 million production budget makes a theatrical profit unlikely. Black Bear’s erotic dramedy “Wicker” took fourth place with $4.1 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to $13.2 million after a $2.5 million Sundance acquisition. Paramount’s video game reboot “Street Fighter” rounded out the top five with $3.2 million in its third frame, bringing its global gross to $91.9 million against an $82 million co-financing budget shared by Legendary and Capcom.
