Box Office: ‘You Can See Everything' ($2M), ‘Clayface' ($1.9M), ‘Wildwood' ($1.3M) Lead a Quiet Thursday

Thursday numbers are in, and they hint at a quiet weekend, especially with no big wide release, unless you count Briarcliff's "Christmas at the Kringles" as one. It managed $200K in previews last night from around 1,800 screens.

Let's start with "Clayface." The DC horror experiment pulled in $1.9M on Thursday, bringing its domestic total to $33M. Expect a second-weekend drop of anywhere between 50% and 60%.

Then there's "You Can See Everything," which, in its third week of release, grossed $2M on Thursday, beating "Clayface," and now sits at $52M domestic. A24 is feeling confident, expanding by another 600 screens this weekend for a total of 3,200+. Expect a third-weekend drop of only about 40%.

And let's give some credit to "Wildwood." The stop-motion feature took in $1.37M on Thursday for an $18.3M domestic total, and it's tracking for just a 30% second-weekend drop. That's the best hold of the bunch. It's not going to break any records, but this is a film that, despite its immense budget, will stick around for a few more weeks.

What else? I guess we can mention "Street Fighter," which is turning into a real stinker for Capcom, with only $49M domestic heading into its fourth weekend. Meanwhile, Taika Waititi's "Klara and the Sun" has been pulled from theaters by Sony after just one week. It barely made $1M during its run.

Look, the pattern here isn't hard to read. The one movie that's actually growing, expanding into more theaters three weeks in, is the one audiences are talking about. Everything else is coasting on IP. "Street Fighter" had a built-in fanbase and still couldn't get people to show up past opening weekend. "Clayface" is following the same script.

As for "Klara and the Sun," that one stings for Waititi, who, I can almost guarantee you, will keep convincing studios to greenlight his projects, with one last bomb to go before director's jail comes calling.
