\n\tClayface<\/a> might have been a considerably nicher choice for a feature film than DC\u2019s \u201cSupergirl\u201d and \u201cSuperman,\u201d but that didn\u2019t stop audiences from showing out to catch the Batman supervillain\u2019s gory, nightmare-inducing origin story at the box office this weekend.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new release generated $10.4 million from 3,458 North American theaters on Friday, taking the No. 1 spot. It\u2019s a strong start for the film, which looks to pull in $24 million by Sunday. <\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by James Watkins, \u201cClayface\u201d follows the titular Batman villain, a rising movie star also known as Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries), who volunteers for a highly experimental medical procedure after his face is severely disfigured. Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella and Eddie Marsan also star. Variety\u2019s<\/a> Guy Lodge called the film \u201cits own ugly animal; perhaps the characters and conflicts introduced here would pall if given the franchise treatment, but in the context of a single, genre-melding romp, they\u2019re fresh and ickily enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFellow DC films like \u201cSuperman,\u201d produced for nearly $230 million, brought in $618.72 million worldwide over the course of its 2025 theatrical run, while \u201cSupergirl\u201d was considered a bomb with $126 million against a $170 million budget earlier this year. In comparison, \u201cClayface\u201d cost $44 million to produce. <\/p>\n

\n\tA24\u2019s much-hyped Elizabeth Holmes documentary \u201cYou Can See Everything<\/a>\u201d landed in second place on Friday, making $6.14 million from 2,655 North American theaters, up from 855 at opening weekend. The buzzy doc has made $31.7 million domestically so far. Rival estimates suggest the film will gross another $20 million by Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n\tComedian Nathan Fielder and \u201cPrimetime\u201d filmmaker Lance Oppenheim quietly worked on the movie for more than three years, which offers an unhinged look at the Theranos founder a month before she began an 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors. In addition to being eligible for best documentary feature at the 99th Academy Awards, the film will also be submitted across the board <\/a>as seen on A24\u2019s awards site: best picture, director, production design, cinematography, costume design, film editing, makeup and hairstyling, sound and original score.<\/p>\n

\n\tLaika\u2019s \u201cWildwood<\/a>,\u201d another new release, landed in third place on Friday, grossing $4.28 million from 2,942 North American theaters. Featuring a voice cast that includes Carey Mulligan, Jacob Tremblay and others, the stop-motion film looks to bring in $11.2 million by Sunday. <\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by Travis Knight, \u201cWildwood\u201d revolves around a teenage girl who travels with a classmate into an enchanted forest after her brother is abducted. Strong reviews should continue to propel the lavish film at the box office, which carries a substantial $100 million price tag.<\/p>\n

\n\tBlack Bear\u2019s \u201cWicker<\/a>\u201d followed in fourth place, earning $2.36 million on Friday from 1,471 North American theaters. The offbeat romantic comedy, directed by Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer, is targeting a $5.5 million opening weekend.<\/p>\n

\n\tDescribed as an \u201caudacious comedic fable,\u201d \u201cWicker\u201d tells the love story of an ostracized fisherwoman (Olivia Colman) who commissions a husband from the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage). Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd plays said husband. Elizabeth Debicki also stars.<\/p>\n

\n\tComing in fifth was Legendary Entertainment\u2019s \u201cStreet Fighter.\u201d The action film grossed $2.34 million on Friday and should add another $8.4 million by Sunday, bringing its cumulative gross to $46.7 million.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cStreet Fighter,\u201d directed by Kitao Sakurai, stars Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji as two estranged fighters in the 90s who are recruited to enter a tournament that forces them to face off against each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Clayface might have been a considerably nicher choice for a feature film than DC\u2019s \u201cSupergirl\u201d and \u201cSuperman,\u201d but…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":939564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,8862,134,344,228198,223705,455762],"class_list":["post-939563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-clayface","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-wicker","tag-wildwood","tag-you-can-see-everything"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939563","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=939563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/939564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
