Clayface led the North American weekend with an estimated 24 million dollars, while overseas takings lifted its worldwide opening to 43 million dollars. Sunday reporting adds a global opening estimate to the earlier Friday result and domestic forecast. The James Watkins horror film opened in 3,458 North American cinemas.
Clayface, the Warner Bros. and DC horror film, began its theatrical run with an estimated 43 million dollars worldwide. The Sunday opening-weekend assessment includes 24 million dollars in North America. That global figure extends the opening picture beyond the domestic market, with a separate contribution from overseas cinemas. The weekend amounts remain estimates rather than audited final receipts.[1], [2]
The overseas opening contributed 19 million dollars across 76 markets, according to Variety. In North America, the film played in 3,458 cinemas and finished first in the weekend ranking. The international amount describes the release outside North America; the domestic theatre count belongs to the United States and Canada. Both form part of the same opening weekend.[1]
The reported production budget is 44 million dollars. Opening audiences gave Clayface an A-minus CinemaScore, the audience grade recorded at the start of its run. Variety placed the domestic launch below Warner Bros.’ initial expectation of 25 million to 35 million dollars. Those studio expectations concern the North American opening, while the newly reported worldwide figure also includes the overseas release.[1]
