4 Oct
Summary
- Clayface needs $620 million to surpass Superman's box office.
- The film is projected to earn $23 million-$33 million opening weekend.
- Matt Hagen becomes Clayface after a disfiguring experimental treatment.
The DCU, now under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran, is preparing for its third theatrical release with the upcoming Clayface movie. This film faces the significant challenge of earning $620 million worldwide to outgross the DCU's debut film, Superman.
Superman, directed by James Gunn himself, achieved a global box office total of $618.7 million against its $225 million budget, marking it as a success. Clayface is projected to open between $23 million and $33 million in North America, with global opening numbers possibly reaching $50 million to $55 million.
The film, directed by James Atkins and releasing on October 23, stars Matt Hagen as a movie star who volunteers for an experimental treatment after a disfiguring accident. The procedure leads to horrifying side effects, transforming him into the villainous Clayface.
