James Watkins' Box Office Tally: Clayface Joins Top Films

English filmmaker James Watkins, renowned for his contributions to the horror genre, has a notable track record at the worldwide box office. His directorial journey began in 2008 with Eden Lake. Over the years, Watkins has maintained his focus on horror, with his films collectively earning millions globally. His most successful film to date is the 2012 supernatural thriller The Woman in Black, which garnered over $128.9 million worldwide. This film, starring Daniel Radcliffe, has stood as his highest earner for over a decade.

More recently, Watkins has ventured into the larger DC Universe with the release of Clayface on October 23.
