The You Can See Everything box office race was the closest fight of the fall. A24’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary edged DC Studios’ Clayface by roughly $200,000 in early estimates. In short, however, a nearly three-hour documentary beat a comic-book horror film on Halloween weekend.
First, a clear warning: these are estimates, not finals. TheWrap and Deadline report $10.6 million versus $10.4 million. Warner Bros., however, calls Clayface No. 1. So the order could still flip on Monday.
How close was the You Can See Everything box office race?
Very close. The two films were tied at about $10.5 million in earlier Sunday projections. You Can See Everything took $3.56 million on Friday; Clayface took about $3.3 million from 3,478 theaters. Meanwhile, Halloween itself then worked against both films, as many people spent Saturday night trick-or-treating or at parties.
Why a documentary reaching No. 1 in week 3 is so rare
If it holds No. 1, it will be a rare modern chart-topper. Most films peak in week one, then fall. This film did the opposite: No. 2 on October 16, No. 2 again behind Clayface, then up in week three. Screen Rant notes the last non-Christmas film to first hit No. 1 in week three was Pixar’s Inside Out in 2015.
Why did it climb? First, its opening was historic: about $15 million from just 855 screens, the biggest documentary opening since Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004, with over 2,000 sold-out screenings. Second, reviews stayed strong, at 99% on Rotten Tomatoes at launch. Finally, it expanded to 3,242 theaters by Halloween weekend.
The road to $63.9 million for You Can See Everything
Co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, the film follows Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes before she reported to prison, and again two years into her sentence. Holmes is serving an 11-year federal sentence for defrauding investors.
That access is part of the appeal. Made in secret over three years, it premiered at Telluride, and curiosity turned into ticket sales. We covered its strange premise earlier — see our report on Nathan Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary trailer.
What Clayface’s $83 million worldwide means for DC
Clayface should not be written off, even if it slips to No. 2. The R-rated body horror, directed by James Watkins from a script by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, stars Tom Rhys Harries as actor Matt Hagen. After an attack disfigures him, Hagen turns to an experimental procedure, and his flesh turns to clay. Naomi Ackie, Max Minghella, David Dencik, and Eddie Marsan also star.
In addition, it opened on October 23 with $24 million in North America and about $43 million worldwide. After 10 days, it has $44.1 million domestically and $83 million worldwide, close to double its reported $40–44 million budget, before marketing. It also earned an A- CinemaScore and 94% audience score, and its overseas drop was a gentler 34.7%.
For DC Studios, that is a modest win in a bruising year. Clayface cost a fraction of most superhero films and is on track to cross $100 million worldwide next weekend. As a result, a small, standalone horror film that nearly doubles its budget in 10 days is a useful result.
Halloween box office 2026: the full Top 5
Here is the estimated Top 5 for October 30 to November 1, 2026. Treat the top two as provisional until Monday’s finals.
| Rank | Film | Weekend (est.) | Domestic total | Weekend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1* | You Can See Everything (A24) | $10.6 million | $63.9 million | 3rd |
| 2* | Clayface (Warner Bros./DC Studios) | $10.4 million | $44.1 million | 2nd |
| 3 | Wildwood (Fathom/Laika) | $7.5 million | $25.8 million | 2nd |
| 4 | Wicker (Black Bear) | $4.1 million | $13.3 million | 2nd |
| 5 | Street Fighter (Paramount/Legendary) | $3.2 million | $79.6 million worldwide | 3rd |
* The top two are separated by about $200,000 in estimates, and Warner Bros. disputes the order. Monday’s finals will confirm the winner.
What’s next for the You Can See Everything box office run?
First, watch Monday’s finals. If You Can See Everything keeps No. 1, it becomes one of the highest-grossing documentaries ever in the U.S. and Canada. But it will still be short of $100 million, though. Its 43% drop from its $19.5 million second weekend makes that milestone unlikely, unless it holds unusually well in November.
Second, watch Clayface overseas. Moreover, it has $38.9 million internationally, and $100 million worldwide looks likely next weekend. Finally, next weekend brings fresh competition, including The Cat in the Hat. For now, a documentary made for under $7 million has outlasted bigger rivals by getting people talking.
