Box Office: ‘Clayface’ Makes $3.5 Million in Previews

“Clayface” earned $3.5 million in Thursday previews, as Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ Batman villain film heads into a competitive opening weekend. Its projected domestic debut is $25 million to $35 million, though some estimates are lower; the film’s $44 million production budget is modest by DC standards.

The film is expected to add $20 million to $25 million overseas, for a projected global opening of $45 million to $55 million. A key rival is “You Can See Everything”, an Elizabeth Holmes documentary expanding to 2,600 cinemas after taking $15.6 million in its limited opening. Other new releases include “Wicker” and “Wildwood”, each targeting $6 million to $8 million, and “Klara and the Sun”, forecast to make about $2 million.
