Clayface · Official trailerIn theaters Oct 23, 2026

Week of Oct 29

Why this week matters

Halloween weekend is a horror-comedy handoff rather than a blockbuster weekend — the only new wide release is Briarcliff’s Christmas at the Kringles (Oct 30), joined in select theaters by Netflix’s WWII drama The Mosquito Bowl (Oct 30, streaming Nov 25) and Samuel Goldwyn’s Liam Neeson chase thriller The Mongoose (Oct 30). Two of last weekend’s openers grow up: Wicker expands nationwide Oct 30 after an estimated $5.75M opening from 1,471 theaters, and The Only Living Pickpocket in New York expands wide the same day. Last weekend’s chart (estimates): Clayface No. 1 with about $24M, You Can See Everything No. 2 with about $19.5M (about $45.1M total), Wildwood No. 3 with about $11.6M, Street Fighter No. 4. The week’s biggest trailer news: Searchlight dropped the full official trailer for Tony Gilroy’s Behemoth! (Dec 4) on Oct 28, and Sony released a new trailer for Jumanji: Open World. Weekend figures: weekend estimates, Oct 23–25, 2026.

Editorial method

How MovieRevue picks films

The lineup focuses on near-term U.S. theatrical releases with a trailer that can be traced to the studio, distributor or official film channel. If a trailer cannot be verified, the film is skipped rather than paired with a fan edit or aggregator upload.

Official firstRelease facts and credits are checked against distributor materials and named reference sources.
Spoiler-lightPreview notes stay inside the verified premise and explain the experience the film appears to promise.
Our own take“Worth your 2 hours?” is concise editorial judgment—not a critic aggregate, audience score or guarantee.

Our point of view

Two minutes to a better pick.

MovieRevue is built for the decision before the movie: watch the official trailer, scan the director and cast, understand the premise, and get one concise reason to go—or wait.

New research is folded in Monday and Thursday mornings. Release dates can move between updates, so theater plans should always be checked with the distributor or local cinema.
