By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
Sunday's estimates have Warner Bros' DC horror Clayface at No. 1 in the US with about $24m from 3,458 cinemas, plus $19m overseas for $43m worldwide, on a lean $44m budget. A24's You Can See Everything took $19.5m in its second weekend after going wide, about 25% up on its opening, for $45.1m so far. The Hollywood Reporter says that's the second-biggest weekend for a documentary since Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004.
