Clayface and You Can See Everything vie for the weekend box office lead
Clayface, a DC body-horror film, opens in North American theaters this weekend, starring Tom Rhys Harries as an actor seeking help after his face is disfigured.
Warner Bros.
expects it to earn $25 million to $30 million domestically in its opening weekend, with additional international earnings projected.
Its main challenger is You Can See Everything, a documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, which earned $15 million in its first weekend.
The documentary is expanding from 855 to about 2,600 theaters, and forecasts put its second weekend at at least $18 million.
That strong run means it could take the top spot if Clayface falls short of expectations.
Clayface is the third feature in the film slate planned by DC Studios leaders James Gunn and Peter Safran, and a solid result would give the studio a needed win after Supergirl had a weaker-than-expected run.
The weekend’s box office results will show whether the documentary can keep growing and whether Clayface can draw audiences looking for a horror film.
Clayface and A24’s You Can See Everything are competing for the top spot at the North American weekend box office.
Clayface earned an estimated $3.5 million or more from Thursday previews, according to Deadline.
Warner Bros. projects Clayface will open to $25 million to $30 million domestically, while Deadline cited forecasts of $20 million to $25 million.
You Can See Everything, an Elizabeth Holmes documentary, opened to about $15 million last weekend and is expanding from 855 to about 2,600 North American theaters.
TheWrap said the documentary could earn at least $18 million in its second weekend, putting it in contention to beat Clayface if the new film falls short.
