Weekly Box Office · October 30–November 1, 2026
By David Laguerre
Halloween delivered a close race rather than a runaway hit. You Can See Everything leads Clayface by just $200,685 in the preliminary domestic weekend figures. That is a small cushion—and a reason to keep the victory celebration modest until final receipts arrive. The ranking and precise figures below follow Box Office Mojo’s weekend chart.
The broader picture was subdued. Boxoffice Pro’s Sunday report puts the three-day domestic market at about $55.7 million and describes a weekend short on major new studio releases. It also cautions that Monday’s actuals could change the order at the top. These are preliminary Sunday studio estimates, not a final accounting.
The domestic top 10

| 2 | Clayface | $10,400,000 |
| 3 | Wildwood | $7,491,417 |
| 4 | Wicker | $4,125,000 |

| 6 | BTS World Tour ‘Arirang’ in São Paulo: Live Viewing | $2,800,000 |
| 7 | Resident Evil | $2,525,000 |
| 8 | Other Mommy | $2,500,000 |

A win, but below the forecast
Finishing first and meeting expectations are not the same thing. In its October 28 preview, Boxoffice Pro forecast $12 million to $17 million for You Can See Everything. The roughly $10.6 million estimate falls below that range even as the film takes the lead.
Clayface landed near the bottom of the same outlet’s $10 million to $15 million forecast, while Wildwood came in within its $6 million to $8 million range. That makes the animated film the clearest example among the top three of a weekend broadly matching advance expectations.
The lesson is straightforward: a No. 1 finish tells us who won the weekend, not whether the whole market was healthy. Nor does a ticket-sales chart, on its own, tell us whether a movie has made a profit. Budgets, marketing costs and the money theaters keep all sit outside these rankings.
Next weekend: a monster and a cat
The two releases I am watching most closely are Godzilla Minus Zero and The Cat in the Hat. Both are listed for wide release November 6 on The Numbers’ release schedule, setting up a fresh contest for the November 6–8 weekend.
There is an early benchmark, though it should not be mistaken for a last-minute forecast: Box Office Theory’s tracking dated October 22, published October 23, put each film’s domestic three-day opening range at $25 million to $35 million. Those overlapping ranges suggest a competitive race; they do not establish a certain winner.
My prediction: I give Godzilla Minus Zero a slight edge for first place, with The Cat in the Hat the challenger. That is an editorial pick, not a new tracking result or a claim about advance ticket sales. With both films inside the same early forecast band, either order would be unsurprising.
For now, the story is a narrow lead in a quiet market. Next weekend’s question is whether two prominent arrivals can turn a close contest into a bigger one.
