Read the story

Clayface topped the US and Canadian weekend box office with an estimated $24 million over October 23–25. You Can See Everything followed with $19.5 million, according to the weekend chart.

The figures describe ticket revenue in that market and may be revised as estimates are finalised. A leading weekend gross does not, by itself, establish that a film has made a profit.
