In a quiet Halloween weekend, A24’s documentary 'You Can See Everything' edged out 'Clayface' for the number one position at the domestic box office, earning approximately $10.6 million in its third weekend 2345. This victory marks a significant milestone for the film, which reportedly has a total domestic gross of $63.88 million 4, placing it as the 18th highest-grossing documentary of all time 3.

'Clayface', on the other hand, secured second place with around $10.4 million in its second weekend 2345. Despite this strong showing, 'Clayface' has accumulated a total North American gross of $44.1 million and a global gross of $83 million 34. The film's success is particularly noteworthy given its production cost of $44 million 34.

Other notable entries in the box office race included 'Wildwood', which earned $7.5 million in its second weekend, and 'Wicker', which brought in $4.1 million in the same period 234. 'Wicker' has now reached a domestic total of $13.2 million 234, while 'Wildwood' boasts a domestic total of $25 million and a global gross of $35 million 34.

On the smaller scale, 'The Only Living Pickpocket in New York' earned $1.9 million, increasing its domestic total to $2.1 million 3, and 'La Bola Negra' has earned $1.2 million from 38 theaters since its release 4. Meanwhile, 'The Mosquito Bowl' debuted in 349 locations, earning $455,000 5.

Halloween weekend box office revenues were reported to be between $62 million and $64 million, marking one of the slowest weekends of the year 4. This subdued performance can be attributed to the limited appeal of the holiday to moviegoers, as well as the strong competition from recent releases.

In a surprising twist, 'You Can See Everything' outperformed 'Clayface' on Sunday, earning $3.45 million compared to 'Clayface’s' $2.8 million 5. This late surge contributed to the documentary's overall success and solidified its position at the top of the box office chart.

The documentary, directed by Nathan Fielder and featuring Elizabeth Holmes, also saw some personal drama unfold during filming. According to reports, Fielder developed a romantic interest in Holmes, who is currently serving an 11-year prison sentence for fraud related to her company Theranos 6. The film was shot in a rental home in Del Mar, California, where Holmes lived with her partner Billy Evans and their two young children 6.

Theranos, the company founded by Holmes, once held a valuation of $9 billion before being exposed as fraudulent 6. This background adds an intriguing layer to the documentary, making it not just a story of business success, but also one of personal and professional intrigue.
