One of Batman’s creepiest villains is descending upon the box office this weekend.

Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ “Clayface” made $3.5 million in Thursday previews at the box office, and it’ll face some tough competition from the buzzy Elizabeth Holmes documentary “You Can See Everything” from A24.

“Clayface” is projected to make $25 million to $35 million in its opening weekend, though some rival estimates put it lower at $22 million to $28 million. The R-rated comic book movie cost just $44 million to produce, much lower than fellow DC movies like “Superman” and “Supergirl,” so it should be easy to turn a profit. It’s on track to add $20 million to $25 million overseas for a global opening of $45 million to $55 million. Directed by James Watkins, “Clayface” follows the shape-shifting Batman foe, who starts out as a Hollywood actor who undergoes a dangerous medical procedure that goes horribly wrong.
