“Really proud of this,” Gunn said. “Sinners is the only horror movie to have EVER gotten an A CinemaScore, and only three horror movies have gotten an A- in the last couple years – Obsession, Weapons, and, now, Clayface.”
Clayface’s October release positions it well for the Halloween season, likely boosting its appeal among moviegoers seeking a spooky experience. The film has received positive reception, with a 75% approval rating from critics and an impressive 94% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. James Gunn, co-chairman of DC Studios, expressed his satisfaction with the film’s reception, noting its rare “A-” CinemaScore, a notable achievement in the horror genre.
Meanwhile, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary, You Can See Everything, continues to perform well, securing second place domestically with $19.5 million in its second weekend. This success follows its limited release, which garnered strong reviews and increased earnings as it expanded to more theaters. The documentary’s strong word-of-mouth may continue to draw audiences intrigued by the story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos.
In third place at the domestic box office is Laika’s stop-motion film, Wildwood, which earned $11.77 million. Despite exceeding initial projections, the film’s earnings fall short of its $100 million budget. The fantasy epic directed by Travis Knight has received excellent reviews, boasting a 100% critic rating and 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, though it may face challenges in recouping its production costs.

For those interested in detailed reviews, IGN rated Clayface 7/10 and praised You Can See Everything with a perfect 10/10. Whether you’re a fan of DC’s darker stories or prefer exploring documentaries, this weekend’s box office offerings provide a range of cinematic experiences.
