π° What Happened
The DC film Clayface opened at number one in North America with an estimated $24 million to $25 million, after taking $10.4 million on Friday and in previews. It is a second straight number one for the combined Paramount and Warner Bros. studio.
Audiences gave it an A- CinemaScore, the same grade as James Gunn's Superman, and 73 per cent of the opening crowd was aged 18 to 34. The film had no Imax screens because Street Fighter had booked them, but premium large formats took nearly half the weekend's money.
A24's three-hour documentary You Can See Everything is holding well in its second weekend, heading for about $19 million to $20 million.
π The Backstory
Clayface is directed by James Watkins and stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen. It is a horror-flavoured take on a Batman villain rather than a superhero story.
An A- is a strong exit score for a DC film, which often land lower: Supergirl scored a B- and The Flash a B. Genre films usually finish in the B or C range.
Laika's Wildwood, also reviewed in this batch, is heading for about $11 million in its opening weekend through Fathom Entertainment.
π― Why It Matters
Box office numbers show what audiences actually choose, and that shapes which films studios pay for next. A strong DC opening also helps cinemas heading into a quiet Halloween.
