Clayface opens at $24M; Fielder doc tops $45M in 2 weeks

Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ Clayface opened at No. 1 at the North American box office with an estimated $24 million US from Friday to Sunday, Oct. 25, 2026, while A24’s Nathan Fielder documentary You Can See Everything took $19.5 million to pass $45 million in two weeks, studio estimates showed.

The documentary co-directed by the Vancouver-born Fielder was the weekend’s story, rising from 855 theatres to 2,655 and finishing just $4.5 million behind Clayface. A24 reportedly spent about $7 million making it, according to The Associated Press, which reported the estimates. The Hollywood Reporter also put the Clayface opening at $24 million.

Clayface played in 3,458 theatres and added $19 million internationally, the AP reported. Audiences gave it an A- CinemaScore. Its budget was $44 million, which the AP said made the opening modest but profitable. Paul Dergarabedian, a box office analyst, said the film was “a great example of studios taking chances, with DC venturing into R-rated horror and body horror.”

The film is DC Studios’ third theatrical release under James Gunn and Peter Safran. The AP noted that Supergirl grossed $126 million worldwide on a $170 million budget, and described Clayface as offering the studio some stability.

David A. Gross, a box office analyst who publishes the FranchiseRe newsletter, said You Can See Everything had “turned into a zeitgeist film about money, dreams, truth and reality,” the AP reported. The film, about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, was directed by Fielder and Lance Oppenheim. As we reported on its debut, it opened in 855 theatres. Its two-week domestic total of $45.1 million ranks it among the highest-grossing documentaries ever, the AP said.

Laika’s animated Wildwood debuted third with $11.8 million from 2,779 theatres and an A CinemaScore. The AP reported that it cost $100 million, which leaves its profit prospects uncertain. Laika’s previous film, The Missing Link, opened to $5.9 million.

Paramount’s Street Fighter fell 72 per cent in its second weekend to $8.6 million, bringing its domestic total to $46.9 million against a budget of about $80 million. Black Bear’s Wicker opened to $5.8 million from 1,471 theatres; the company bought it out of Sundance for $2.5 million. Sony’s Klara and the Sun took $725,000 from 880 theatres. Amazon MGM’s Ali G: Who Iz I? had a very limited release, and no grosses were reported.

We reported Saturday’s projections earlier today. The Sunday figures are estimates, and the AP’s North American totals are in U.S. dollars. The sources reviewed gave no Canada-only totals. Final numbers are due Monday, Oct. 26.
