Clayface Edges Out Elizabeth Holmes Doc 'You Can See Everything' for Halloween Weekend Box Office #1
Warner Bros.' R-rated DC film Clayface opened to ~$24M domestically, narrowly beating A24's three-hour documentary You Can See Everything in its second weekend (~$19.5M). The doc's strong performance defied expectations for non-fiction theatrical releases.
TLDR
The close race highlights shifting audience tastes and growing theatrical viability for documentaries. Clayface underperformed initial projections ($25M–$35M), while the Holmes doc's expansion to ~2,655 theaters demonstrated strong word-of-mouth and cultural interest. This challenges traditional assumptions about documentary box office ceilings and reflects broader 2026 box office momentum (global projections revised to ~$35.7B).
