Halloween weekend sees box office drop

North American theaters saw a decline in ticket sales this weekend as the Halloween holiday pulled audiences away from cinemas on Saturday. Studio estimates released on Sunday indicate the weekend gross will not exceed $56 million. This figure places it as the second-lowest earning weekend of the current year.

The documentary "You Can See Everything" about Elizabeth Holmes finished in first place. The film, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, earned $10.6 million from 2,655 locations during its third weekend in theaters. It holds the top spot by a narrow margin, leading "Clayface" by $200,684. This is the first time the documentary has reached the number one position.

"You Can See Everything" has accumulated $63.9 million in domestic revenue. That total stands against a reported production budget of $7 million. The film continues to attract attention through word of mouth rather than large-scale marketing spend.

The Warner Bros. release "Clayface" placed second with a 57% drop from its previous weekend. Its domestic earnings now stand at $44.1 million, nearly matching its reported $44 million production budget. The film depicts the Batman villain and has seen a sharp decline in audience attendance since its debut.

Laika's animated feature "Wildwood" took third place with an estimated $7.5 million. The film expanded its release by adding 150 screens, reaching a total of 3,100 theaters across the U.S. and Canada. Its running total is now $25.9 million, down 39% from its first weekend. The Fathom Entertainment release showed a significant drop in weekly revenue.

Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård starred in the comedy "Wicker," which finished fourth with $4.1 million. The film features a woman who hires a basket maker to construct a husband for her. "Street Fighter" rounded out the top five in its third weekend with $3.2 million in sales.

Other notable performers included the Sundance indie "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York," which added over 1,000 locations to reach the top 10 with $1.9 million. Netflix's World War II film "The Mosquito Bowl" earned $455,000 from 349 locations. The domestic box office total for the year is nearly $8.5 billion, representing a rise of more than 17% compared to last year.
