Box Office: You Can See Everything Tops Halloween Weekend

You Can See Everything, A24’s documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, has topped the North American box office for the first time in its third weekend, narrowly beating DC’s Clayface over a quiet Halloween weekend. The film added $10.6 million from 3,243 cinemas, according to Sunday studio estimates compiled by Boxoffice Pro, taking its domestic total to $63.88 million.

Clayface was just behind with $10.4 million, a gap of about $200,000 that Boxoffice Pro said could still be overturned when Monday’s actual figures are published. A week ago, our report had Clayface on top with You Can See Everything surging.

Why Is the No. 1 Finish Unusual?

Documentaries rarely win a box office weekend. According to CinemaBlend, You Can See Everything is only the fourth documentary ever to do so. Boxoffice Pro called it “a rare feat” for a film that opened in wide release, and it reached the top spot in its third frame rather than on opening weekend.

Its takings were remarkably steady across the three days: $3.56 million on Friday, $3.58 million on Saturday and $3.45 million on Sunday. The film’s weekend gross fell 43% from its second weekend, even as it added 588 cinemas. CinemaBlend credits Nathan Fielder as the film-maker; IndieWire says the film cost about $7 million to make.

How High Can You Can See Everything Climb?

After this weekend, the film has overtaken Michael Moore’s Bowling for Columbine to become the 18th highest-grossing documentary of all time, according to IndieWire. Boxoffice Pro says it is within striking distance of the all-time top five, with Michael Jackson’s This Is It ($72 million), Justin Bieber: Never Say Never ($73 million) and March of the Penguins ($77.4 million) next in line. The trade publication expects it to pass all three by the end of next weekend at the latest, with some international markets starting to report soon.

How Did Clayface and the Rest of the Top 10 Do?

Clayface, the body-horror Batman spin-off from Warner Bros. and DC Studios, fell 57% in its second weekend but still won Halloween day itself, taking $4.27 million on Saturday. It has made $44.06 million in North America and $82.96 million worldwide against a reported $44 million budget, IndieWire said.

Why Was Halloween Weekend So Quiet?

With studios avoiding new wide releases, the total three-day domestic gross was $55.67 million, down 52.1% on the previous weekend and 3% on the same weekend in 2025, according to Boxoffice Pro. That made it nearly the weakest weekend of the year, just above the $54.7 million recorded in the fourth weekend of 2026.

The best-performing new release was the live concert screening BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ in Buenos Aires and São Paulo Live Viewing, which took $2.8 million from 1,010 screens. Netflix’s Second World War drama The Mosquito Bowl, directed by Peter Berg, earned $455,000 from 349 screens in a limited run before streaming, after a 35% Rotten Tomatoes score. National Geographic’s Everest: The Other Side, from the Free Solo team, opened in limited release with $1 million.

What Is Coming to Cinemas Next Weekend?

Next weekend brings more competition. Warner Bros. releases The Cat in the Hat, with Bill Hader voicing the title character, while Martin McDonagh’s spy comedy Wild Horse Nine and the Sylvester Stallone biopic I Play Rocky, directed by Peter Farrelly, both arrive with awards hopes.
