Clayface Looks to Boost DC Studios at Weekend Box Office

Warner Bros. expects Clayface to earn $25 million to $30 million domestically from more than 3,400 North American theaters, plus $20 million to $25 million overseas. The $44 million body-horror film stars Tom Rhys Harries and Naomi Ackie and is DC Studios' third feature release. It faces competition from A24's expanding Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything, which opened strongly.

Warner Bros. expects Clayface to collect $25 million–$30 million in North America from over 3,400 venues, plus $20 million–$25 million abroad. James Watkins directed the $44 million body-horror entry; Tom Rhys Harries plays disfigured actor Matt Hagen, and Naomi Ackie appears as the scientist he turns to.

As DC Studios’ third planned film, it follows Superman’s solid start and Supergirl’s weaker $37.1 million domestic launch on a $170 million budget. Clayface’s 75 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating tops Supergirl’s 52 percent. A24’s You Can See Everything widens to 2,600 sites after a $15 million opening.
