\n\tClayface<\/a> looks to give the DC Studios<\/a> team a reason for a happy face in its opening weekend at the box office<\/a>, although it will encounter competition from the second weekend of A24\u2019s You Can See Everything<\/a>, which continues to get audiences pumped.<\/p>\n

\n\tWarner Bros. projects a launch between $25 million and $30 million domestically for Clayface from more than 3,400 North American theaters, along with an additional $20 million to $25 million internationally. Director James Watkins\u2019 $44 million-budgeted body-horror feature stars Tom Rhys Harries and Naomi Ackie in the story of Matt Hagen (Harries), an actor who turns to a scientist (Ackie) for assistance after his face becomes disfigured. <\/p>\n

\n\tThis marks the third feature release in the planned slate for DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran. Superman kicked off the DC Universe\u2019s film side with a strong start last year, while Supergirl sputtered over the summer, with the $170 million-budgeted movie debuting to a soft $37.1 million<\/a> domestically before ending its run with $126 million worldwide. Clayface has the benefit of a far more modest budget.<\/p>\n

\n\tClayface has fared better with critics than Supergirl, holding a 75 percent approval from Rotten Tomatoes reviewers, as opposed to the 52 score for the summer\u2019s Milly Alcock-led release. In his r<\/a>e<\/a>view<\/a> for The Hollywood Reporter, critic Frank Sheck called Clayface \u201ca big swing that definitely pays off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOffering potential competition for the weekend\u2019s top spot is A24\u2019s buzzy Elizabeth Holmes<\/a> documentary You Can See Everything, which expands to 2,600 North American theaters after playing in 855 in its debut frame. Directors Nathan Fielder<\/a> and Lance Oppenheim<\/a>\u2018s film about the disgraced Theranos founder\u2019s life before beginning her prison sentence was a sensation in its opening weekend, overperforming to the tune of $15 million<\/a> as it placed second behind Paramount and Legendary\u2019s Street Fighter.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou Can See Everything is projected to hit at least $18 million and could likely go beyond that.<\/p>\n

\n\tHitting theaters this weekend is Laika\u2019s animated stop-motion feature Wildwood<\/a> from director Travis Knight. It is set for 2,926 North American theaters and holds a sterling 100 percent approval on Rotten Tomatoes. <\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, Sony\u2019s Klara and the Sun<\/a>, with Jenna Ortega<\/a> and Amy Adams<\/a> starring for director Taika Waititi, debuts over the weekend, as does Amazon MGM Studios\u2019 Ali G: Who Iz I?, as Sacha Baron Cohen<\/a>\u2018s comedy hits theaters for just one week ahead of its streaming launch on Prime Video. <\/p>\n

\n\tAnother newcomer is Black Bear\u2019s Sundance standout Wicker, with directors Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson\u2019s romantic fantasy starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Clayface looks to give the DC Studios team a reason for a happy face in its opening weekend…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":937665,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[473233,195616,64,63,5604,8862,6137,452054,134,34832,361310,340208,344,72462,18297,223705,455762],"class_list":["post-937664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ali-g-who-iz-i","tag-amy-adams","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-box-office","tag-clayface","tag-dc-studios","tag-elizabeth-holmes","tag-entertainment","tag-jenna-ortega","tag-klara-and-the-sun","tag-lance-oppenheim","tag-movies","tag-nathan-fielder","tag-sacha-baron-cohen","tag-wildwood","tag-you-can-see-everything"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/937664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=937664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/937664\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/937665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=937664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=937664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=937664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
