DC and Warner Bros.’ psychological horror film Clayface, starring Tom Rhys Harries, Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella and Eddie Marsan, has reportedly opened to a weak response in India, while its initial performance in the US and other international markets is described as stronger.
The film’s opening-day performance will be important in assessing its theatrical prospects, particularly given its reported production budget of $44 million. Its worldwide earnings, Indian box-office figures and performance against other Hollywood releases will provide a clearer picture of its commercial potential.
Here’s a breakdown of the Clayface box office collection on Day 1 in India and worldwide, along with its budget and rankings among Hollywood openers.
Clayface Worldwide Box Office Collection
Expected US Box Office Collection: $20–25 million
The supplied estimate projects that Clayface could collect between $20 million and $25 million in the United States. This is an estimate rather than a confirmed result, and its final performance will depend on audience response, reviews and its performance over the opening weekend.
Worldwide box-office earnings will also depend on how the film performs across international markets.
Clayface India Box Office Collection Day Wise
The following figures represent the reported Indian box-office estimates for Clayface.
| Day | India Box Office Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 0 – Paid Previews | ₹0.15 crore net |
| Day 1 | ₹0.5–1 crore net |
| Total Till Day 1 | ₹0.5–1 crore net (reported estimate) |
The film’s opening in India appears modest based on these figures. Its performance over the following days will depend on audience interest, theatre occupancy and competition from other releases.
Note: The Day 1 and cumulative figures are reproduced from the supplied data and should be verified against final trade reports.
Clayface Movie Budget
The reported production budget of Clayface is $44 million, approximately ₹417 crore.
This figure excludes prints and advertising (P&A) and global marketing expenses. The total investment associated with the film will therefore be higher once those additional costs are included.
With a production budget of this scale, the film will need to generate revenue across multiple international markets. However, box-office gross alone does not determine profitability, as theatrical revenue is shared among exhibitors, distributors and studios.

Clayface Box Office Collection Day 1: Final Verdict
Clayface has reportedly earned ₹0.5–1 crore net in India on Day 1, including a paid-preview collection of ₹0.15 crore net. Its projected US collection stands at $20–25 million, although this remains an estimate rather than a confirmed box-office result.
The film’s reported $44 million production budget, excluding global marketing and P&A expenses, makes its international performance particularly important. Its opening in India appears modest, but the overall box-office picture will depend on the film’s performance across other markets and its ability to attract audiences in the coming weeks.
For now, the available figures offer an early snapshot rather than a final commercial verdict. Updated domestic and worldwide collections will be needed to assess whether Clayface can build momentum and move towards profitability.
