United States

DC Studios’ horror film Clayface opened at the top of the North American box office, taking an estimated $24 million during its opening weekend. The R-rated film brought a darker, horror-focused approach to the DC universe, attracting attention amid continued competition between superhero productions and original genre films.

The opening provided a modest theatrical success for DC Studios, although its longer-term performance will depend on audience response and how well ticket sales hold in the coming weeks. The weekend’s box-office results also highlighted the importance of distinctive concepts and genre experimentation in a competitive film market.
