Clayface Leads North American Weekend Estimates

Name: __________________________ Date: __________________

Read the story

Clayface ranked first at the US and Canadian box office for October 23–25, with an estimated $24 million debut. The Numbers listed You Can See Everything second on $19.5 million.

These preliminary weekend receipts are neither worldwide totals nor studio profits. Costs and the division of ticket revenue are separate considerations, so the ranking alone cannot establish profitability.
