**Clayface’s opening weekend has locked into the 22-25 million domestic bracket that traders have priced at 96.5 percent.** Friday’s $10.4 million (including $3.5 million in previews) paced the R-rated body-horror film for a $23-25 million three-day finish from 3,458 theaters, exactly where final estimates settled. Strong audience reception—an A- CinemaScore and 94 percent Rotten Tomatoes verified score—has driven solid walk-ups and word-of-mouth, while the lean $44 million production budget makes even this modest debut a commercial win for the newly merged Paramount-Warner Bros. entity. The film comfortably outpaced the expanded A24 documentary *You Can See Everything* despite the competitive October frame. An upset into higher brackets would require an unusually front-loaded hold or major underreporting; a sub-22 million result would need sharp Saturday-Sunday erosion inconsistent with current exit polling.
