DC Studios' 'Clayface' did not clear $28 million domestically in its October 23-25, 2026 opening weekend. Deadline reported an estimated three-day total of roughly $24 million from about 3,458 theaters, within Deadline's own pre-weekend forecast of $20 million to $25 million but below the wider $23 million-to-$33 million range that some trackers had circulated earlier in October. The James Gunn-produced film, a horror-tinged take on the DC villain, drew a middling 59 score on Metacritic, a reception that likely capped its upside even as it finished first for the weekend. Its closest rival was A24's documentary 'You Can See Everything,' which earned a strong $19.5 million to $20 million in its second weekend, keeping the race for the top spot competitive through Sunday estimates. Clayface reportedly cost around $40 million to produce, so the domestic opening alone recovered roughly 60 percent of that budget. The community correctly anticipated this outcome: only 30 percent of voters predicted the film would clear $28 million, and the majority's skepticism was borne out once final weekend estimates landed several million dollars below that mark.
