You Can See Everything Edges Clayface in a Photo-Finish Halloween Weekend at the Box Office

You Can See Everything has pulled off one of the rarest feats in modern box-office history: reaching No. 1 for the first time in its third weekend. A24’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary edged DC Studios’ Clayface by roughly $200,000 over the Halloween weekend of October 30 to November 1, 2026, in a finish so tight that the final order may still change when Monday’s actual figures arrive.

The documentary took an estimated $10.6 million in its third frame, just ahead of Clayface’s estimated $10.4 million in its second. The margin, reported at $200,684, is one of the closest weekend finishes of the year.

Halloween weekend top 5: October 30 to November 1, 2026

Rank Film Weekend (est.) Change Domestic total
1 You Can See Everything $10.6 million -43% $63.9 million
2 Clayface $10.4 million -57% $44.1 million
3 Wildwood $7.5 million — About $25.9 million
4 Wicker $4.1 million -28% —
5 Street Fighter About $3.2 million — About $53 million

All figures are North American studio estimates for the U.S. and Canada and remain subject to revision when final actuals are reported.

The closest finish of the year

What makes this weekend genuinely unusual is not just the margin but the timing. Films almost never climb to No. 1 for the first time in week three; by then, the opening-weekend rush is long gone and newer releases have usually taken over. You Can See Everything did it the slow way, holding its audience while everything around it fell away.

The closeness of the race is real, not just a rounding quirk. Trade coverage noted that Warner Bros. was calling Clayface the weekend’s No. 1 film at $10.4 million, while other estimates put the documentary at $10.6 million — which is why every figure here is labelled an estimate.

How the documentary got here

Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, You Can See Everything follows Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in the 34 days before she reported to prison and in the three years that followed. Made on a reported budget of just $7 million, it has now collected about $63.9 million in North America alone — a return that places it among the top 20 documentaries of all time at the domestic box office, just ahead of Michael Moore’s Bowling for Columbine on some tallies.

The film expanded into hundreds of additional theatres for the weekend, and it has yet to open internationally, with a cinema release in Australia and New Zealand set for November 12 — so its worldwide story is still only half written.

Clayface holds, but drops hard

For Clayface, second place comes with a sting: a 57% drop from its opening weekend. The R-rated DC Studios body-horror film, built around the Batman villain, has now earned about $44.1 million domestically and roughly $83 million worldwide after ten days — respectable for a horror-leaning comic-book spin-off, but the steep fall suggests its opening audience has not yet been replaced by word of mouth.

The wider market did neither film any favours: overall domestic takings were estimated at $55.7 million, down 42.1% from the previous weekend, though up 4.2% on the comparable weekend in 2025. With Halloween falling on a Saturday, audiences were at parties and trick-or-treating rather than in cinemas.

The rest of the chart

Laika’s stop-motion fantasy Wildwood took third with about $7.5 million in its second weekend, lifting its domestic total to roughly $25.9 million. Wicker, the Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård romance, slipped just 28% to about $4.1 million for fourth place, and also opened atop the UK box office with $2.2 million. Street Fighter rounded out the top five with roughly $3.2 million.

What Monday’s actuals could change

The honest answer is: the winner. A gap of around $200,000 on estimates this small is well within the range that final counts can erase, and the two studios’ competing claims show exactly why. What will not change is the broader picture — a documentary made for a reported $7 million outlasting a DC horror film in a Halloween weekend, and a market waiting for its next big release to wake it up.

Either way, a third-weekend No. 1 for a documentary is the kind of result the box office rarely produces.
