The box-office looks set to be an interesting one this weekend with several new titles and several returning titles battling it out.
While DC Studios’ “Clayface” has scored mixed/positive reviews with critics, its audience scores are quite high, with a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes – the best score for any project in Gunn & Safran’s DC Universe to date. PostTrak exit polls at cinemas similarly paint it at 4.5/5 stars.
“Clayface” pulled in $3.5 million in previews and seems on track for a $20-25 million start domestically – not too shabby for a movie that cost $44 million.
A24’s “You Can See Everything” pulled in $25.6 million in its first week in total and is expected to do strong business in its second weekend, potentially pulling in a number either close to or better than its opening weekend result.
Not faring so well is LAIKA’s stop-motion animated title “Wildwood”. Reviews are stellar, but the Travis Knight-directed film pulled just $1 million in previews, and it’s hoped the film can break the $10 million mark.
The comedy “Wicker,” starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgard, took in. $620,000 in previews and has landed very good scores – it’s expected to debut in the mid single-digit millions. Also opening is Taika Waititi’s “Klara and the Sun” which has only a limited release.
