A24’s You Can See Everything claimed the box office crown over DC’s Clayface during Halloween weekend, while Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial entered the Golden Globes comedy race. Meanwhile, Angel Studios introduced new content rules for all future films and acquisitions.
You Can See Everything Overtakes Clayface at the Box Office
A24’s You Can See Everything took the top spot at the box office last week. The documentary achieved this after its third weekend in theatres after earning $10.6 million domestically, despite dropping 43% from its previous weekend.
The documentary’s win comes after its expansion to 3,243 locations, following its earlier limited release.
You Can See Everything claimed the top prize after narrowly defeating DC Studios’ Clayface, which earned $10.4 million. The horror film dropped roughly 57% in its second weekend while playing in 3,478 locations.
While the difference between the two films last weekend was just $200,685, You Can See Everything has now earned an estimated $63.9 million domestically against its $7 million production budget. Clayface has reached $44.1 million domestically and $82.9 million worldwide against its $44 million budget.
Laika’s Wildwood retained third place with $7.5 million last weekend which is its second weekend since being released. It dropped 39%, bringing its domestic total to $25.9 million. Its worldwide earnings have reached approximately $28.9 million.
Wicker finished fourth with $4.1 million. Its domestic total has now reached $13.3 million passing its $10 million production budget.
However, the weekend presumably brought a much weaker result for Taika Waititi’s Klara and the Sun. The film debut on number 15 and earned just $720,000 during its opening weekend. It has only recorded $1.7 million against its reported $44.3 million budget ever since release.
Artificial Enters the Golden Globes Comedy Race
Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial will compete in the Golden Globes’ musical or comedy categories.
The film’s campaign includes Yura BorisovIlya Sutskever for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy. Andrew Garfield will compete for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Monica Barbaro, who plays Mira Murati, will campaign for Best Supporting Actress.
Artificial follows the rise of OpenAI and the people behind it. Early reactions praised its performances and dark comedy, with screenings reportedly drawing laughter from audiences. This included reactions to Borisov’s portrayal of Sutskever and Ike Barinholtz’s Elon Musk.
Neon’s decision further drew attention because of a recent category dispute involving Michael. Lionsgate submitted the Michael Jackson biopic as a musical or comedy, but the Golden Globes committee rejected its submission earlier in October.
The committee placed Michael in the drama categories instead, alongside major contenders such as The Odyssey, Dune: Part Three, and La Bola Negra.
By submitting Artificial as a musical or comedy, Neon has placed it in the category Michael originally sought to enter. This also keeps it out of direct competition with those drama contenders. However, Neon has not confirmed this as its reason for choosing the category.
The 84th Golden Globe Awards will take place on January 10, 2027. Nominations are scheduled to be announced on December 7.
Angel Studios Introduces New Rules for its Film Library
Angel Studios announced new content rules for all future original productions and films it acquires for distribution. The company introduced the policy on October 29 under the name “The Angel Promise.”
The policy establishes three main commitments. First, Angel Guild members will retain the final say over every title. A film or series must score at least 70 out of 100 to enter Angel’s entertainment ecosystem.
Second, future titles must meet specific content standards. Angel prohibits on-screen nudity and sex acts, the use of the F-word, and irreverent or profane references to God. Sincere and devotional references remain acceptable.
Third, the policy introduces parental controls. Angel Guild members will provide recommended age ratings and plain-language content descriptions. Parents will also be able to customise viewing controls.
The announcement comes as Angel expands beyond its earlier reputation for faith-based releases. These include His Only Son, David, and The Chosen.
Its more recent theatrical slate covers a wider range of stories. These include the western Angel and the Badman, political drama The Brink of War, action comedy Runner, and historical war drama Young Washington.
Angel has three more films scheduled for release this year. The historical musical war drama Drummer Boy and biographical drama Hershey arrive on November 6 and 25, respectively. Its final release is the biblical epic Zero A.D. The Birth of Christ, scheduled for December.
