Clayface Leads Weekend Box Office as Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Surges

News event: 2026-10-25. Updated: October 26, 2026.

The horror film Clayface topped the North American weekend box office with an estimated $24 million from 3,458 theaters, according to figures reported by the Associated Press on October 25. But the weekend’s most unusual success story was a documentary: You Can See Everything expanded widely and collected an estimated $19.5 million.

A horror opening with international support

Clayface, a DC Studios release, added about $19 million from international markets, the AP reported. Its opening suggests that audiences remain interested in horror stories linked to recognizable fictional properties, although first-weekend revenue alone cannot establish whether a movie will become profitable.

The film reportedly cost $44 million to produce. Marketing, distribution arrangements and exhibitors’ share of ticket sales also affect profitability, so comparing the opening gross directly with the production budget would be misleading.

A documentary becomes a mainstream draw

You Can See Everything, the documentary about former Theranos executive Elizabeth Holmes, earned $19.5 million after expanding to 2,655 theaters. The AP put its two-week North American total at $45.1 million. Its performance is notable because documentaries rarely compete with major studio releases at this scale.

The weekend also included an $11.8 million debut for the animated fantasy Wildwood. Meanwhile, Street Fighter, which had led the previous weekend, fell sharply to an estimated $8.6 million, according to the same AP report.

All weekend box-office figures are estimates and may be revised when final ticket receipts are reported. The wider picture is a varied theatrical market in which horror, documentaries and animation can all find audiences, but their commercial trajectories may differ dramatically after opening weekend.
