You Can See Everything moved into first place at the North American box office over the Halloween weekend, edging past Clayface by a narrow margin. Studio estimates put You Can See Everything, the Elizabeth Holmes documentary, at $10.6 million from Friday through Sunday, against $10.4 million for the Warner Bros. release. The gap between the two films was $200,684, close enough that final receipts, due on Monday, could still change the order. The weekend covered October 30 through November 1, with Halloween falling on a Saturday, a night when many potential cinema visitors were elsewhere.

The result gave You Can See Everything its first weekend at No. 1 after two weekends in second place. You Can See Everything is directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and looks at Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. It has now taken $63.9 million in North America, against a reported production budget of $7 million. That total has grown steadily since release, with the documentary holding its audience while larger titles have come and gone.

You Can See Everything and a quiet Halloween weekend

Total ticket sales across the United States and Canada were estimated at $55.7 million for the weekend, down 42.1 percent from the previous weekend. That figure would make it the second lowest earning weekend of the year so far, according to studio estimates reported on Sunday, with You Can See Everything in front. Halloween on a Saturday pulled audiences away from theaters that night, and no major new release arrived to offset the drop. Even so, the weekend total was 4.2 percent ahead of the same weekend in 2025.

For the year to date, domestic ticket sales have reached $8.46 billion, up 20.1 percent from $7.05 billion at the same point last year. The Los Angeles Post, citing the same studio estimates, put the year to date figure at nearly $8.5 billion, up more than 17 percent from last year. Horror has supplied a large share of that total, with the genre taking an estimated $1.38 billion domestically through November 1.

Clayface slips to second after a sharp fall

Clayface, about the Batman villain, fell 57 percent in its second weekend. Its domestic total now stands at $44.1 million, against a reported budget of $44 million. The DC Studios film opened in first place a week earlier and held most of its audience through the week, but the second weekend drop was steep. The narrow loss to You Can See Everything, a third weekend documentary, underlines how little separated the top two films, with fewer than 201,000 dollars between them on estimates.

Third place went to Laika’s animated film Wildwood, which added 150 screens to reach 3,100 theaters in the United States and Canada. It took an estimated $7.5 million, down 39 percent from its opening weekend, for a running total of $25.9 million. The film held its position while the two films above it swapped places, and it was the only title in the top five to stay in the same spot as the previous weekend.

Wicker and Street Fighter round out the top five

Wicker, the comedic fantasy in which Olivia Colman plays a woman who commissions a basket maker, played by Alexander Skarsgard, to build her a wicker husband, finished fourth with $4.1 million. The Black Bear release slipped 28 percent in its second weekend, a smaller fall than most titles in the top ten, and its domestic total reached $13.3 million. Its hold suggested word of mouth was working in its favor even as overall attendance fell.

Street Fighter completed the top five with $3.2 million in its third weekend, taking its domestic total past $50 million. Behind it, Sony’s Resident Evil added $2.5 million in its seventh weekend and passed $400 million worldwide. The Only Living Pickpocket in New York expanded by more than 1,000 locations and took $1.9 million, enough for a top ten place.

What comes next after You Can See Everything

The next test for theaters arrives with the coming weekend, when Warner Bros. releases its animated version of The Cat in the Hat in about 4,000 theaters. Godzilla Minus Zero, the follow up to the Oscar winning Godzilla Minus One, opens in about 2,700 locations in the same frame.

For now, the headline from the weekend is You Can See Everything reaching No. 1 in its third weekend, during one of the quietest frames of the year. You Can See Everything did it without a large opening weekend, building instead over three weeks to $63.9 million. Final figures on Monday will confirm whether the $200,684 margin held, and whether a documentary has kept the top spot on estimates that began the weekend as a close race.
