\n\tClayface<\/a> rolls into the box office<\/a> fray but faces competition from the second weekend of You Can See Everything<\/a> as the buzzy Elizabeth Holmes<\/a> documentary expands.<\/p>\n

\n\tWarner Bros. released director James Watkins\u2019 body-horror feature Clayface in more than 3,400 North American theaters and it grossed $10.4 million domestically on Friday, including Thursday previews<\/a>, adding $4.3 million internationally for the day. Earning an A- CinemaScore from audiences, Clayface could be headed for around $24 million domestically for the weekend, which would be just under the studio\u2019s initial projection<\/a> of $25 million to $30 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis marks the first DC Studios<\/a> movie to launch since Supergirl had a disappointing opening of $37.1 million<\/a> domestically over the summer on a $170 million budget. The $44 million-budgeted Clayface has impressed critics more than Supergirl, with a 76 score from reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes and a 94 from audiences. In his r<\/a>e<\/a>view<\/a> for The Hollywood Reporter, critic Frank Scheck called Clayface \u201ca big swing that definitely pays off.\u201d Tom Rhys Harries<\/a> and Naomi Ackie star in the story of Matt Hagen (Harries), an actor who turns to a scientist (Ackie) for assistance when his face becomes disfigured.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou Can See Everything collected $6.1 million on Friday from 2,600 North American locations to bring its domestic cume to $31.7 million. The A24 film, which has been building awards buzz<\/a>, adds to last weekend\u2019s momentum and could collect $20 million in its sophomore frame. Nathan Fielder<\/a> and Lance Oppenheim<\/a>\u2018s documentary about disgraced Theranos founder Holmes widened after opening with $15 million<\/a> from 855 theaters domestically, which gave it the highest-grossing launch for a release under 1,000 theaters since 2006\u2019s Borat.<\/p>\n

\n\tLooking to take third place is Laika\u2019s stop-motion animated movie Wildwood<\/a>, grossing $4.2 million Friday and heading to an expected $11.2 million for the weekend. Carey Mulligan, Peyton Elizabeth Lee and Jacob Tremblay lead the voice cast for Travis Knight\u2019s feature about a teen girl venturing to an enchanted forest to save her baby brother. Earning an A CinemaScore, Wildwood holds a dazzling 100 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Scheck heralding it as \u201cstupendous in every aspect<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter winning the box office battle last weekend, Paramount and Legendary\u2019s Street Fighter<\/a> looks to land around $8.4 million with a roughly 73 percent decline to move its domestic cume to $46.7 million. Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji and Callina Liang lead director Kitao Sakurai\u2019s adaptation<\/a> of the Capcom video game centering on a combat tournament. <\/p>\n

\n\tLikely to round out the top five is Black Bear\u2019s romantic fantasy Wicker<\/a>, which picked up $2.3 million domestically on Friday, including Thursday previews, from 1,471 North American theaters and is expected to open with $5.5 million. Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgard star in directors Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer\u2019s movie about a woman in a quiet village who gets a wicker husband.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his review for THR<\/a>, critic Richard Lawson praised Wicker\u2019s \u201cwinning mix of irreverence and compassion.\u201d It holds a 94 score on Rotten Tomatoes from both critics and audiences. <\/p>\n

\n\tOpening quietly in 880 North American theaters from Sony Pictures is Taika Waititi<\/a>\u2018s Klara and the Sun<\/a>, which made $300,000 and heads to around $725,000 for the weekend. Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams lead the adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro\u2019s novel about a robot companion connecting with a sick girl. THR chief film critic David Rooney deemed it a \u201cwretched mess<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, Amazon MGM Studios releases Sacha Baron Cohen\u2019s Ali G: Who Iz I?<\/a> in just 125 theaters on only Friday and Saturday ahead of its Prime Video debut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Clayface rolls into the box office fray but faces competition from the second weekend of You Can See…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":893333,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[331682,2642,18085,1038,136209,88,164673,351907,206,43115,42958,16322,93772,307123,162108,355314],"class_list":["post-893332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ali-g-who-iz-i","tag-box-office","tag-clayface","tag-dc-studios","tag-elizabeth-holmes","tag-entertainment","tag-klara-and-the-sun","tag-lance-oppenheim","tag-movies","tag-nathan-fielder","tag-street-fighter","tag-taika-waititi","tag-tom-rhys-harries","tag-wicker","tag-wildwood","tag-you-can-see-everything"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=893332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893332\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/893333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=893332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=893332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=893332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
