π° What Happened
Clayface stayed at the top of the global box office this weekend. The Warner Bros. and DC film took in $22.8 million worldwide. That brings its total to $83 million after two weekends.
The weekend was quiet overall. No major Hollywood film opened wide, and Halloween kept many people at home. Imax sold just $6 million in tickets around the world.
Sony's Resident Evil passed $400 million worldwide in its seventh weekend. It is now about $600,000 away from beating A24's Backrooms as the studio's biggest film ever.
π The Backstory
Clayface is one of Batman's oldest enemies. He is a villain whose body is made of clay and who can change shape. This is his first solo movie, and it cost about $44 million to make.
Halloween is often a slow weekend for cinemas. Many people stay home for parties, and studios avoid big releases. This year the holiday also cut into ticket sales in Mexico and other Latin American countries.
Resident Evil began as a Capcom video game in 1996. The films have been steady moneymakers for Sony for over 20 years. This newest one is now the biggest in the series worldwide.
π― Why It Matters
Horror is still the safest bet in theaters. A cheap scary movie can earn back many times its budget, which is why studios keep making them.
