Clayface Leads Weekend Box Office as Wildwood Opens Modestly

LAIKA's stop-motion animated feature Wildwood, directed by Travis Knight, opened to strong critical praise but modest box-office numbers this weekend. The film pulled in $1 million in previews and $3.2 million on opening day, with its debut weekend projected at $11–13 million — a result the source compares to LAIKA's Kubo and the Two Strings. That puts Wildwood in third place domestically.

Leading the chart is DC Studios' Clayface, which is tracking for a $23–25 million opening on a $44 million budget. Critics gave it mixed-to-positive notices, but audiences were more enthusiastic, awarding it a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes — the best audience score for any title in Gunn and Safran's DC Universe to date — and 4.5 out of 5 stars on PostTrak exit polls. The film earned $3.5 million in previews.

In second place, A24's You Can See Everything is on track for roughly $19 million in its second weekend, after taking in $25.6 million during its first week.

Street Fighter slips to fourth with an estimated $9.5 million, a steep fall of around 79% from its opening. Fifth place is expected to go to the comedy Wicker, starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård, which collected $620,000 in previews and is projected to open around $6 million.

Also debuting is Taika Waititi's Klara and the Sun, though its limited release limits it to an estimated $900,000 for the full three-day weekend.
