As reported by Deadline, the typically subdued Halloween box office has been energized by an unlikely pair of contenders. The documentary 'You Can See Everything,' co-directed by Lance Oppenheim and featuring Nathan Fielder, is poised to lead the weekend, currently tracking for a $10 million to $11 million third weekend. This would push its impressive cumulative domestic gross to an estimated $63.7 million by Sunday.

The film's strong performance is largely attributed to its viral presence on social media, where the real-life figures Elizabeth Holmes and Nathan Fielder have become popular Halloween costume inspirations. This cultural resonance has translated into sustained box office interest, allowing the three-hour documentary to defy typical genre expectations. In fact, 'You Can See Everything' has already surpassed the domestic totals of notable documentaries like Michael Moore’s 'Bowling for Columbine' ($21.5M), Al Gore’s 'An Inconvenient Truth' ($24.1M), and 'Hubble 3D' ($52.5M).

Hot on its heels is 'Clayface,' the James Watkins-directed DC spin-off. While horror and genre films often dominate the Halloween frame, 'Clayface' is finding itself in a surprising struggle for supremacy. The film is expected to pull in over $10 million in its second weekend, bringing its total domestic cume to an estimated $43.7 million by the end of Sunday. Despite a projected 60% drop from its opening, a figure typical for genre fare, it's still a strong showing.

The overall Halloween weekend is historically a challenging period for new releases, often seeing a dip in moviegoing as audiences prioritize holiday festivities. However, the unique appeal of 'You Can See Everything' combined with the steady draw of 'Clayface' is injecting some much-needed vitality into the frame. Other films in the top five include Laika's animated 'Wildwood,' Black Bear's 'Wicker,' and Paramount/Legendary's 'Street Fighter,' but the spotlight remains firmly on the unconventional clash between the documentary and the DC antagonist.
