Clayface has debuted at the top of the box office, earning an estimated $24.5 million in its opening weekend. This marks the second consecutive week a Skydance production has claimed the number one spot, following the success of Street Fighter. Despite a lower budget compared to typical superhero films, Clayface's performance aligns with expectations for a horror movie released near Halloween, demonstrating that profitability is achievable with appropriate budgeting.
Audiences have responded positively to Clayface, evidenced by an A- CinemaScore and a 94% user rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, Polygon's review found the film's narrative and characters to be underwhelming.
Street Fighter, while not reaching second place this weekend, dropped to fourth with $8.6 million. Meanwhile, A24's documentary You Can See Everything garnered $19.5 million in its second weekend, showing strong audience reception and potentially becoming another surprise hit of 2026.

- Clayface - $24.5 million
- You Can See Everything - $19.5 million
