You Can See Everything Battles Clayface for No. 1 at Box Office

Key Points:

• A24’s documentary “You Can See Everything” and DC’s “Clayface” are neck-and-neck for the domestic box office lead, with estimates of $10.6 million and $10.4 million respectively this weekend, marking a rare potential No. 1 spot for a documentary in its third weekend.
• The overall Halloween weekend box office was slow, generating around $60 million due to no new releases and competition from Halloween activities, though it improved on last year’s $49 million total.
• “You Can See Everything” has grossed $63.88 million domestically so far on a $7 million budget and is poised to be one of the biggest documentaries in decades, while “Clayface” has earned $44.1 million in North America and $83 million globally against a $44 million production cost.
• Other notable releases include Laika’s “Wildwood” with $7.5 million in its second weekend but unlikely to profit due to its $100 million budget, and Paramount’s “Street Fighter” which dropped 63% to $3.2 million, struggling to break even on its $82 million budget.
• Sony’s “Klara and the Sun” suffered a major box office failure with only $720,000 opening, leading to a reduced theatrical presence, while Sony Pictures Classics’ “The Only Living Pickpocket in New York” and Netflix’s limited releases “La Bola Negra” and “The Mosquito Bowl” posted modest earnings in limited runs.
