‘You Can See Everything’ Eyes $20M Second Weekend as ‘Clayface’ Leads Box Office
Clayface is expected to lead the North American box office with about $24 million in its opening weekend, despite falling just short of Warner Bros’ initial forecast. The result would make it the first DC Studios release since Supergirl’s underwhelming summer debut, while its lower $44 million budget and stronger audience scores offer a more encouraging start.
The body-horror film took $10.4 million domestically on Friday, including previews, and $4.3 million internationally that day. You Can See Everything earned $6.1 million on Friday and is forecast to make $20 million in its second weekend, taking its domestic total to $31.7 million. Wildwood is projected to place third with $11.2 million; Street Fighter and Wicker are expected to follow with $8.4 million and $5.5 million respectively.
In short
- Clayface is forecast to open with $24 million domestically.
- You Can See Everything may earn $20 million in its second weekend.
- Wildwood is projected to take third place with $11.2 million.
Explained simply
Clayface is a DC Comics character, and DC Studios is the film-making arm behind screen versions of DC stories. A film’s opening weekend is its first three days of ticket sales, a key measure studios use to judge its launch.
You Can See Everything is a competing film now in its second weekend in cinemas. Box-office forecasts estimate ticket sales and can change as more figures come in; comparisons between films also depend on factors such as their budgets and how audiences respond.
Box-office results matter to studios, cinemas and distributors because they help shape decisions about marketing, future releases and how long films stay in cinemas. They are one measure of a film’s performance, alongside audience response and later viewing.
