'You Can See Everything' surges with $19.5M at box office; 'Clayface' takes No. 1
Key Points:
- DC Studios' R-rated film "Clayface" opened with a solid $24 million domestically, marking a profitable start given its modest $44 million budget and positive audience reception, including an "A-" CinemaScore.
- A24’s documentary "You Can See Everything," directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, expanded to 2,655 theaters and grossed $19.5 million in its wide-release weekend, reaching $45.1 million in two weeks and becoming one of the highest-grossing documentaries ever.
- "You Can See Everything" has garnered significant attention from Gen Z audiences and is gaining awards season buzz, potentially becoming the first documentary nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars.
- Laika’s stop-motion animated film "Wildwood" debuted in third place with $11.8 million, showing improved performance over the studio’s previous release but still unlikely to recoup its $100 million production cost.
- Other notable box office results include "Street Fighter" dropping 72% to $8.6 million in its second weekend, and "Wicker," a quirky romantic comedy starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård, opening with $5.8 million; meanwhile, Taika Waititi’s "Klara and the Sun" and Sacha Baron Cohen’s "Ali G: Who Iz I?" underperformed significantly.
