Weekly Box Office: 'Clayface' Takes the Top Spot as 'Wildwood' Struggles

This weekend at the box office, the newest DC movie, Clayface, opened in cinemas. Its performance was okay, and it’s well-positioned to eventually turn a profit for studio Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). You Can See Everything has a stellar second weekend, increasing its overall cinema count and its take. Wicker had a passable opening, and Resident Evil keeps its box office run going, largely thanks to a strong performance in China.
Clayface
Clayface has oozed his way into cinemas, with a $24 million domestic opening, $19 million internationally, for a total of $43 million worldwide. It’s an adequate start for the film, not anything amazing but also nothing catastrophic. The movie has done better than DC’s other movie this year, Supergirl, which ended its box office run with a whimper. Clayface by contrast, is a moderate success, only just missing the $25 million prediction by studio Warner Bros. Discovery. Its A- CinemaScore is much better than Supergirl’s B-, hinting that its long term prospects are good, and its lower budget means it’s likely to either just about break even theatrically or, after coming close, make a profit once ancillary revenue is included.
This is all right result for a film, although it’s nice for films to break even/turn a profit on theatrical alone, this is extremely difficult, which is why studios have built in ancillary revenue streams. The lower budget shows restraint and a willingness to experiment, which is something that should be celebrated. Clayface will more than likely show up in future projects, especially as reception has been positive.
You Can See Everything
In its second weekend You Can See Everything expanded into wide release, doubling the number of cinemas it’s now showing in. Its domestic take increased 25% to $19.5 million off the back of this, landing itself at number two. This is fuelled by the word of mouth push that the film crafted, which has paid off. This means its overall gross stands at $45.1 million, which is already enough to make it one of the best performing documentaries.
You Can See Everything has yet to release anywhere outside of the domestic market, but it’s already given an extremely good performance in its two weeks cinemas. Internationally, the one documentary that managed to top this was the Chinese state produced documentary Amazing China, which grossed £72.5 million exclusively in China back in 2018. A24’s You Can See Everything May well come close to this by the end of its run, though it depends on how well the Theranos scandal travels worldwide.
Wildwood
Wildwood, LAIKA Studios’ latest movie, unfortunately is a box office flop. It only opened to $11.6 million domestically, good enough for the number three spot in the top ten. This is especially rough considering the film had a $100 million budget, and the $2.9 million it added internationally won’t do anything to offset these losses. It does still have some more markets to open in, but that’s not likely to push the needle to anywhere close where it needs to be.
The studio’s last movie, Missing Link, which opened in 2019, debuted at $5.9 million, meaning Wildwood has nearly doubled that (not accounting for inflation). It’s a small victory for LAIKA, showing they can expand their audience, but not at the rate they’re expanding their film budgets.
Street Fighter
Street Fighter came in at number four, with a total of $8.6 million domestically, down 72%. Clayface has pulled audiences away from the film. Worldwide the drop isn’t quite as harsh, though it’s not much better either. It pulled in $8.2 million internationally, for an overall worldwide haul of $16.8 million. This is a disappointing second weekend, with a pricey $82 million weighing on this movie’s prospects.
Street Fighter has grossed $79.6 million overall worldwide, and $46.9 million domestically. It’s unlikely this film will manage to break the $100 million mark domestically, likely dampening any plans that Capcom and Paramount have for future movies in the franchise.
Resident Evil
Resident Evil has once again made a name for itself, still sticking around the box office top ten both domestically and internationally. Domestically, the film is now in its sixth weekend of release, with a $3 million domestic total, just holding onto that tenth spot. But it’s the international total that has driven the film, with $10.3 million, making its worldwide total $13.3 million, enough for number five.
China is the factor behind this film’s current success. Its cumulative total sits at $65 million in the country, where Sony reports that it's the third-highest-grossing horror of all time. Worldwide, the film has generated $384.5 million, a total that Sony will be pleased with, as the film was made for a $75-80 million budget.
Box Office Extras
Wicker, Oliva Coleman and Alexander Skarsgård’s romance, opened to number five on the domestic chart, pulling in $5.8 million. Its small budget of $10 million is an alright result for distributor Black Bear.
