You Can See Everything beats Clayface at the box office — and no one saw it coming
You Can See Everything tops the box office — not with a bang, but with a whisper. A3 million in its third week, the Nathan Fielder documentary about Elizabeth Holmes pulled ahead of DC’s Clayface by a hair: $10.6 million to $10.4 million. WB wanted to claim victory, but the numbers don’t lie.
And they’re not just numbers, they’re a statement. A three-hour doc on a disgraced tech founder outgrossing a superhero flick in its second weekend? That’s not just a win. It’s a cultural reset.
The film’s domestic total now sits at $63 million, a staggering haul for nonfiction, especially one that doesn’t rely on explosions or CGI. It’s been talked about everywhere, from late-night panels to coffee shop debates. People aren’t just watching it. They’re feeling it.
The zeitgeist isn’t just captured, it’s being held up like a mirror. Meanwhile, Clayface drops 57% after Halloween, a brutal fall for a film already struggling to find its footing. Its $44 million domestic total and $83 million worldwide tally might still net a profit, if the budget was around $44 million, as some sources suggest, but the optics are rough.
The studio’s hopes for a franchise launch are now hanging by a thread. Elsewhere, Wildwood limps along with $25.9 million after two weeks, a 39% drop. Wicker holds strong, only down 28%. Street Fighter sinks further, now at $53 million domestically after another 67% plunge.
But horror finds its groove: Resident Evil drops just 13%, hitting $157 million domestically and nearing $500 million globally. Other Mommy adds $2.5 million, crossing $107 million worldwide. Arthouse hits keep rolling too, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York pulls nearly $2 million, while Heart of the Beast earns $1.62 million, pushing its global total past $181 million.
Sense and Sensibility rounds out the top ten with $1.4 million. Next weekend brings a triple threat: The Cat in the Hat, Godzilla Minus Zero (on IMAX), and Ramayana, a Bollywood release getting a wide rollout. Which one will break through? The answer might not be in the trailers.
It’s in what people are choosing to see. Right now, it’s everything, even when you can’t quite explain why.
