π° What Happened
Clayface opened at number one in US cinemas with about $24.5 million. The horror film cost far less to make than a typical superhero movie. That is why the result counts as a win, not a flop. Audiences gave it an A- CinemaScore and a 94 percent user score on Rotten Tomatoes. It gave Skydance, the studio formed by the Paramount and Warner Bros merger, a second weekend win in a row.
π The Backstory
Skydance's last win came from Street Fighter, which fell to fourth place this weekend. Clayface is the third film in the new DC universe. Polygon's own review was cooler, calling the story underwhelming with uninteresting characters. Meanwhile, A24's You Can See Everything made $19.5 million in its second weekend, more than its first. The Nathan Fielder film about Elizabeth Holmes is finding an audience.
π― Why It Matters
Smaller, cheaper films can still top the chart. That means more variety in cinemas instead of only giant blockbusters.
