\n\tThe newly combined Paramount-Warner Bros merger (aka Skydance) saw its second back-to-back No. 1 weekend win at the global box office with DC\u2019s Clayface<\/a> which filed $43M WW. <\/p>\n

\n\tIs this the new norm? A consecutive weekend win by Skydance? Should the platinum studio Disney be worried?<\/p>\n

\n\tEven if A24\u2019s You Can See Everything<\/a> pops to No. 1 over the dead zone of Halloween stateside, Warner Bros Animation\u2019s The Cat in the Hat will bring Skydance back to No. 1 over the first frame in November. <\/p>\n

\n\tThough the global opening here for Clayface is under the $45M hoped for, it\u2019s still solid for the net $44M costing feature (before P&A), especially given its excellent audience exits. That A- is one of a few earned by horror titles, the others being Get Out, Weapons and Obsession. DC Bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran reportedly covered their faces after watching Clayface for the first time, literally scared by all the gross scenes. That\u2019s what fanboys and moviegoers are responding to in the movie.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe global opening here in pure dollars isn\u2019t far from what Universal\u2019s Other Mommy from Blumhouse Atomic Monster did a couple of weeks ago, that being a $45.6M start (but in 50 territories). The foreign start for that D+ horror movie was $17.8M while Clayface here was $19M from 76 territories. Domestic was No. 1 with $24M, over A24\u2019s second frame of 3-hour documentary You Can See Everything. By the way, that Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim co-directed nonfiction film doesn\u2019t start opening abroad until Nov. 12 in Australia, followed by UK on Nov. 20 via A24. Sony is handling the bulk of foreign as Deadline first told you with translated prints being prepped at the time of this report. We hear that Palace Cinemas in Australia just broke the record for their biggest single day of pre-sales ever thanks to You Can See Everything, doubling the chain\u2019s previous record held by Taylor Swift: Eras Tour.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn regards to Clayface\u2018s territory grosses, it exceeded or met Other Mommy\u2018s first weekend in the UK ($2.6M), Australia ($1.3M versus $1.1M), France ($1.2M) and Brazil ($879K vs. $751K). Clayface was under Other Mommy in Mexico ($1.4M to $1.9M), Italy ($873K vs $2.2M), Spain ($721K vs. $986K), UAE ($626K versus $658K), Saudi Arabia ($561K versus $601K) and Taiwan ($404K vs. $424K). Other Mommy didn\u2019t open in Germany or Korea yet as it respectively opens there on Oct. 29 and Nov. 18, but Clayface did $593K in Germany and $589K in Korea.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, in reported grosses, Clayface\u2018s opening in Italy beat Supergirl\u2018s first weekend of $717,7K and Korea\u2019s first weekend of $422K. <\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking of Other Mommy, the Universal title\u2019s third global weekend came in at $9.2M WW in 68 territories ($5.3M int\u2019l, $3.85M domestic) with a strong No. 2 opening in Poland of $464K behind local hit Lalka and ahead of Black Phone 2, Smile and M3GAN. Also, France had a solid hold of $900K for a cume of $2.5M above Black Phone at the same point in time. Global running cume is $94.8M with $43.3M from offshore and $51.5M stateside.<\/p>\n

\n\tParamount Warner Bros can call dibs on No. 2 at the global weekend B.O. with the second frame of Legendary\/Capcom\u2019s Street Fighter with $16.8M WW ($8.2M from 65 markets for a foreign cume of $32.7M) and running global cume of $76.3M. As we told you, North America ate floor with a -72% plummet of $8.6M. The feature take of the hit 1980s video game held onto its Imax screens around the globe which delivered $2.5M for a near $12M running circuit cume. Top second frame holdovers for Street Fighter were UK ($1.3M, -58%, No. 4, $5.6M cume); Australia ($800K, -45%, No. 2 and $2.6M cume), France ($744K, -33%, No. 9 and $2.2M cume), Mexico ($659K, -63%, No. 4 and near $3M cume) and Germany ($485K, -42%, No. 9 and running cume of $1.6M).<\/p>\n
