A documentary about Elizabeth Holmes beat a major DC superhero film at the North American box office on Friday. A24's "You Can See Everything" earned $3.56 million from 3,243 theaters. This result placed the film in the top spot for the day. Warner Bros.' "Clayface" finished second with $3.3 million in revenue.

The Holmes biopic is on track to reach $10.65 million by Sunday, according to industry estimates. The film has grossed $56.85 million since its theatrical release on Oct. 16. It currently plays in an expanded release across the country.

Comedian Nathan Fielder and director Lance Oppenheim spent more than three years producing the project. The movie depicts the Theranos founder one month before she began serving an 11-year prison sentence. A24 has submitted the film for consideration in multiple categories at the 99th Academy Awards. These categories include best picture, director, and production design.

"Clayface" directed by James Watkins, is in its second week of release. The film has accumulated $36.9 million in domestic ticket sales. Estimates suggest it will add another $10.25 million by Sunday. The plot centers on Matt Hagen, a movie star who undergoes an experimental procedure after facial disfigurement. Tom Rhys Harries stars in the role.

Laika's stop-motion film "Wildwood" took the third position on Friday. It generated $2.39 million from 3,100 theaters. Directed by Travis Knight, the movie has earned $25.2 million in its second weekend. The production carried a budget of $100 million. The story follows a teenage girl who enters an enchanted forest after her brother is taken.

The concert film "BTS World Tour 'ARIRANG' in South America" ranked fourth with $2 million in sales. Black Bear's "Wicker" finished fifth on Friday with $1.43 million. The film is in its second week of release. It has a cumulative domestic gross of $13 million. The story features Olivia Colman as a fisherwoman who commissions a husband from a local basketmaker.

Peter Dinklage and Alexander Skarsgård also appear in "Wicker." The film is described as a comedic fable. It is targeting an additional $4.1 million for its current weekend.
