Clayface opens with 24 million dollars, says hu.ign.com
Clayface pulled a 24 millió dolláros nyitást at the North American box office for its debut weekend, according to hu.ign.com. While that figure makes it a strong release for a horror film, hu.ign.com noted that it sits as a softer launch when viewed strictly as a comic book adaptation set in Gotham. James Gunn’s DC Universe backed the project with a production budget ranging between 30 és 44 millió dollár körül, giving the body horror feature a clear path toward recouping its costs as it heads into the Halloween weekend.

Street Fighter Suffers Steep Second Week Drop
Index.hu noted that Clayface follows the origin story of Matt Hagen (Tom Rhys Harries), an aspiring film star from Gotham’s slums who wins an Oscar nomination only to have his face mutilated by a local mobster’s associates after an affair. Seeking restoration, Hagen encounters a physician named Caitlyn Corr (Naomi Ackie) who applies an experimental nanotech treatment. Index.hu described the resulting physical transformation as a bloody, graphic body horror that heavily pushes the boundaries of the genre.
Telex observed that the scaled-down production approach allows the DCU to pivot away from bloated CGI spectacles.
The title enters its second weekend with favorable holiday tailwinds as North American theaters approach Halloween.
