U.S. Box Office Top 10 for the Week of October 26, 2026: Grosses and New Releases

The U.S. box office top 10 for the week of October 26, 2026, is led by a close race between a new comic-book horror release and a documentary that grew in its second weekend. The calendar date in the headline is the editorial anchor; the latest completed weekend chart covers Friday, October 23, through Sunday, October 25. It is a three-day theatrical-gross ranking, not a Monday-to-Sunday total.

This update follows the current Box Office Mojo Domestic 2026 Weekend 43 chart, using its reported weekend grosses and ranks. Publication/reporting date: Monday, October 26, 2026, when actual weekend grosses are generally reported. Box Office Mojo does not show a separate article-style timestamp on the live chart; it was checked on Tuesday, October 27. Its weekend-chart methodology says the period is generally Friday through Sunday: Sunday figures are studio estimates, while actuals are generally reported Monday after 1 p.m. Pacific Time, with later revisions possible. “Domestic” is an industry category covering North America, including the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, so these numbers are not a U.S.-only breakdown.

Domestic weekend box office: top 10

The ten entries together earned about $88.0 million over the weekend. The top five accounted for roughly $70.1 million, or four-fifths of that top-10 total. Gross means theatrical ticket revenue; it does not include streaming, home entertainment, television rights, or a studio’s share after theaters and distributors split receipts.

What changed since the previous weekend

Clayface took first place with $24.0 million, about $4.5 million ahead of You Can See Everything. The documentary held at No. 2 but increased its weekend gross by 25% as its theatrical footprint expanded from 855 to 2,655 locations, according to the Associated Press weekend report. Its second-week rise is a notable counter-movement to the usual drop films face after opening weekend: more theaters gave the title room to reach new audiences, while the chart shows that its gross also grew.

The largest fall among the returning top-five films came from Street Fighter. It slid from last weekend’s No. 1 to No. 4, with a 72.1% decline to $8.59 million. That is a ranking change as well as a steep gross drop: three first-week entries moved ahead of it. The next steps for readers tracking its run are to compare its next weekend hold and theater count, rather than treating one sharp second-week decline as a final verdict on its full theatrical performance.

Returning titles below the top five also fell week over week. Other Mommy landed at No. 7 after a 52.4% decrease; Sense and Sensibility, Whalefall, and Verity placed eighth through tenth. The chart’s percentage changes compare each title’s current weekend with its previous weekend, not with its lifetime total. For films whose release patterns or theater counts change substantially, that comparison is useful context but does not by itself explain why the gross moved.

New releases and chart entries to watch

Three conventional feature releases entered the top five. Clayface, Warner Bros.’ R-rated body-horror take on a DC character, opened first. The AP report describes it as a $24 million opening and notes an A-minus CinemaScore; the current chart gives the weekend gross as $24,002,731. Wildwood, Laika’s stop-motion fantasy, debuted third with $12,273,561. The AP’s Sunday estimate was lower, at about $11.8 million, which is why this article uses the later chart figure rather than carrying forward the estimate. Wicker, a comic fable starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård, opened fifth with $5,745,945.

HYBE Cine Fest 2026 appears at No. 6 as a new chart entry with $4.5 million. That title matters for a literal reading of the top 10: omitting it shifts every film below it up one place. The AP’s Monday Rentrak-based summary instead lists Other Mommy sixth and does not include HYBE Cine Fest. Those published lists therefore differ in coverage. This article keeps the Box Office Mojo chart’s ranks and figures together rather than mixing rankings from separate reports.

How to read this week’s figures

Use the weekend dates when comparing reports: “week of October 26” here refers to the recurring editorial date, while the measured period is October 23–25. Sunday-night headlines often use preliminary estimates; the Monday actuals can adjust individual grosses and, occasionally, a close ranking. The figures above are the values on the chart when checked October 27, not a guarantee that the live page will never be revised. Readers who need a U.S.-only total should look for a source that separates the United States from Canada and Puerto Rico; the standard domestic chart groups those territories together.
