A24's 'You Can See Everything' Threatens $25 Million Box Office Upset Over 'Clayface'

2 articles · Updated · Variety · Oct 23

Summary

  • $20 million to $25 million in second-weekend sales could lift A24's "You Can See Everything" into a surprise race for No. 1 as it expands to 2,600 theaters.
  • The Elizabeth Holmes documentary opened to $15.6 million from just 855 locations and has already grossed $20.8 million domestically, making a rare weekend-to-weekend increase possible.
  • "Clayface" was expected to lead with $25 million to $35 million domestically, though rival forecasts now put the Warner Bros.-DC debut closer to $22 million to $28 million.
  • Even if it loses the domestic crown, the $44 million-budgeted comic-book horror film is targeting another $20 million to $25 million overseas for a $45 million to $55 million global start.
  • Other new releases look far smaller, with "Wicker" and Laika's $100 million "Wildwood" both tracking at $6 million to $8 million and "Klara and the Sun" near $2 million.
