The outcome is Yes if the Tomatometer score for Clayface exceeds 85 on October 26, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET. The outcome is No if the score is 85 or lower at that time.

  • Will "Clayface" Opening Weekend Box Office be at least 37m? — the market puts it at 1%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 25 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the domestic opening weekend gross reaches $37 million or more, based on final figures from The Numbers website for the October 23–25 period. It resolves to No if that total falls below $37 million. Readers often mistake preliminary studio estimates for the final data required for resolution.
