Clayface Takes First Place at the Cinema

Name: __________________________ Date: __________________

Read the story

Clayface led the October 23–25 cinema weekend in the US and Canada. Its estimated ticket sales were $24 million. You Can See Everything came second with $19.5 million.

These numbers cover three days in two countries, not sales around the world. They measure money from tickets, not the money a studio keeps after paying its costs.
