Clayface opened at No. 1 at the domestic US box office with $24 million in its debut weekend, but A24’s three-hour documentary You Can See Everything delivered one of the weekend’s strongest performances, increasing its collection by 25% in its second weekend. Laika’s animated feature Wildwood debuted in third place with $11 million, while Wicker, starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård, opened at No. 5 with $5.75 million.
The weekend also saw Street Fighter experience a steep 72% decline in its second frame, while several established releases continued to add to their domestic totals. Among the films outside the supplied Top 10 ranking, Klara and the Sun opened to $725,000, while Amazon MGM Studios did not report a theatrical gross for Ali G: Who Iz I?.
Clayface collected $24 million from 3,458 theatres in its opening weekend, giving Warner Bros. and DC the top position on the domestic chart. The R-rated comic-book adaptation follows the Batman villain, a rising movie star whose face is severely disfigured and who undergoes an experimental medical procedure. Directed by James Watkins, the film takes a body-horror approach to the character rather than following the larger-scale superhero format associated with many comic-book adaptations.
The film reportedly had a production budget of approximately $44 million, a comparatively modest figure for a major comic-book release. Its opening was accompanied by an encouraging audience response, with the supplied industry report citing an A- CinemaScore. The film also earned approximately $19 million internationally, taking its reported worldwide opening to $43 million.
The performance of You Can See Everything was the weekend’s other major story. The A24 documentary collected $19.5 million in its second weekend, increasing its gross by 25% and bringing its domestic cumulative total to $45,145,476. The film expanded to 2,655 theatres after initially opening in 855 locations, allowing it to reach a considerably wider audience in its second frame.
Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the three-hour documentary centres on Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos story. Its theatrical performance has exceeded expectations, with the film reportedly produced for approximately $7 million. The decision to begin with a limited release before expanding nationwide helped build interest through sold-out screenings and online discussion, according to the supplied industry reporting.
Its second-weekend increase is particularly notable because the film added substantially to its opening-weekend earnings while expanding its theatrical footprint. The documentary has also entered the awards-season conversation, with some observers suggesting it could become a contender for a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards. That possibility remains speculative, but its commercial performance has already made it an unusual success for a documentary release.
Laika’s Wildwood opened in third place with $11 million from 2,942 theatres. Directed by Travis Knight, the stop-motion animated feature follows a teenage girl who ventures into an enchanted forest with a classmate after her brother is abducted. The release marks another theatrical outing for Laika, the studio known for films including Coraline and Missing Link.
The opening exceeded the pre-release expectations cited in the supplied material, while the film received positive reviews and an A CinemaScore from audiences. Its performance will be important given its reported production budget of approximately $100 million. Stop-motion animation requires extensive time and labour, and the film will need sustained theatrical attendance to build on its opening. Its domestic debut was accompanied by a comparatively limited international gross of approximately $3 million across 11 markets, according to the supplied report.
Street Fighter fell to fourth place in its second weekend, collecting $8.6 million from 3,575 theatres. The video-game adaptation declined by 72% from its opening frame and has accumulated $46,939,000 domestically. Its reported worldwide total stands at $79.6 million.
Legendary and video-game developer Capcom co-financed the film, which reportedly carried an $82 million production budget, while Paramount handled distribution. The steep second-weekend drop indicates a significant reduction in theatrical attendance after its debut, although the film’s eventual performance will depend on its remaining theatrical run and other revenue streams.
Wicker opened in fifth place with $5.75 million from 1,471 theatres. The romantic fantasy comedy stars Olivia Colman as an ostracised woman who commissions a local basketmaker, played by Peter Dinklage, to create a husband. Her relationship with the wicker creation, portrayed by Alexander Skarsgård, sparks jealousy within the village.
Black Bear acquired the film after Sundance for a reported $2.5 million. Its opening was supported by positive audience responses and an unusual marketing campaign that generated organic social-media attention. The film’s central concept, including the idea of a woman choosing a husband of her own design, prompted brands and audiences to engage with its imagery online. The campaign also brought the Wicker Husband character into theatres and other public spaces through promotional displays.
At No. 6, Other Mommy collected $3.85 million in its third weekend, down 53%. The film’s domestic cumulative total reached $51,534,000, keeping it above the $50 million mark despite the latest decline.
Sense and Sensibility ranked seventh with $3.4 million, a 53% drop from the previous weekend. Its domestic cumulative collection reached $13,682,000. The film continued its theatrical run amid competition from the weekend’s new releases.
Whalefall occupied eighth place with $3.2 million, declining 59%. The survival thriller, starring Austin Abrams as a scuba diver swallowed by a sperm whale, has accumulated $14,073,434 domestically. The film reportedly cost $60 million to produce, making its continued theatrical performance an important factor in its commercial prospects.
Verity ranked ninth with $3,063,000 in its fourth weekend. Down 49%, the film brought its domestic cumulative total to $71,531,000. It continued to outperform several newer releases in terms of overall domestic earnings, supported by the strength of its earlier theatrical run.
Resident Evil completed the supplied Top 10 with $3 million, down 45% from the previous weekend. Its domestic cumulative total reached $153,681,000, keeping it well ahead of the other titles in the chart in overall North American earnings.
Outside the Top 10, Sony’s Klara and the Sun, directed by Taika Waititi and starring Jenna Ortega, opened to $725,000 from 880 theatres. Adapted from Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2021 novel, the film follows an obsolete companion android who attempts to form a bond with Josie, a young girl who is seriously ill. The film reportedly had a production budget of $20 million. The supplied material states that Sony scaled back the theatrical release following negative reviews.
Amazon MGM Studios did not report a domestic box-office gross for Ali G: Who Iz I? after reducing its theatrical release to 125 theatres for two days. The mockumentary, starring Sacha Baron Cohen, is expected to premiere on Prime Video. As no weekend gross was reported in the supplied material, its theatrical performance cannot be quantified.
The weekend’s defining contrast was between Clayface’s chart-topping debut and the sustained momentum of You Can See Everything. The DC release secured first place with $24 million, while the documentary’s 25% second-weekend increase pushed its domestic total beyond $45 million. Wildwood and Wicker also entered the chart in third and fifth place, respectively, while Street Fighter recorded a sharp decline. The remaining Top 10 titles continued to add to their cumulative totals, illustrating the varied performance of new releases and established films across the North American theatrical market.
