A $44 million superhero horror film won the box office this weekend. A $7 million documentary came within $5 million of beating it
DC Studios’ R-rated ‘Clayface’ opened at No. 1, Laika’s ‘Wildwood’ debuted in third, and Paramount’s ‘Street Fighter’ lost nearly three-quarters of its audience, while A24’s ‘You Can See Everything’ grew 25% in its second weekend.
What it means
- What to watch: The headline hangs on one number (25%) — one data point is a snapshot, so the trailing trend is the context it needs.
- How the stock is trading: $PARA -4.73% in the latest session.
- Timing: Filed after the close: the price beside it finished its day before the story existed, so the next session gets the first real vote.
Where the stock stands
$PARA last traded at $0.41, -4.73% on the session. That puts it 99% shy of its 52-week high of $46.60 and 2.6% clear of its low of $0.39 — within a tenth of its 52-week low. Over the year it has ranged 11700% from low to high: a very wide band — this one has spent the year on a roller coaster, and big swings are business as usual. These are latest-session quotes, not live prices — the live tape is on the $PARA page.
How much coverage it is getting
In the last 30 days Wook has filed 50 stories about $PARA — 2 of them this week. At its 30-day pace you would expect about 12 a week, so this week is quieter than usual. Across those stories the wording ran 6% bullish, 80% neutral and 14% bearish — mostly headline writers keeping a straight face. This one reads bullish, so it sits in a small minority — the contrarian in the room. 5 came from Fortune; the rest came from other outlets, so this is a story more than one newsroom is chasing. 12 related stories — same name or same desk — are lined up beside this one if you want the whole thread.
The bigger picture
With earnings, the number matters less than the number versus expectations — and guidance often matters more than both. A beat paired with a soft outlook can still get a cold reception. On Wook's supply-chain scanner, Information Technology reads calm today — no unusual stress in the filings and disclosures it watches. The scanner equivalent of a quiet night shift.

Read how two or three outlets frame the same story — where they agree is the news, where they differ is the angle. And Wook AI, up top, will happily do the math — how far $PARA sits from its high, or how this week's coverage stacks up.
How this analysis was made
Fortune published it, and Wook filed it under Earnings. It reads bullish at medium severity because of “beat” in the wording, with nothing on the bearish side to offset it. It was matched to $PARA. It carried $44 million, $7 million, $5 million and 25%, shown as published and not recalculated. The preview above is the publisher's own wording.
The tone and severity labels come from a fixed word list — no editor, no AI, no crystal ball — so they describe how a story is worded, not what happens next. They are not a forecast or a recommendation, and a same-day move does not mean this story caused it. Not investment advice.
