DC's 'Clayface' earned $24 million in its opening weekend to take the top spot, while A24's Elizabeth Holmes documentary 'You Can See Everything' earned $19.5 million in wide release.

DC Studios' R-rated film 'Clayface' opened in 3,458 theatres with a $24 million weekend, marking the third theatrical release for DC under James Gunn and Peter Safran. The film stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, a rising movie star who undergoes experimental facial surgery after being disfigured by a mob boss.

A24's Elizabeth Holmes documentary 'You Can See Everything', directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, proved to be the bigger draw, despite placing second. Expanding from 855 to 2,655 locations, it earned $19.5 million in its opening weekend of wide release, far exceeding expectations. The film has accumulated $45.1 million in two weeks and now ranks among the highest-grossing documentaries ever.

The documentary has attracted significant waves of Gen Z audiences and is generating awards season interest. David A. Gross, publisher of the box office newsletter FranchiseRe, described it as 'a zeitgeist film about money, dreams, truth and reality'. If nominated for best picture at the Oscars, it would be the first documentary ever nominated for Hollywood's top prize.
