Spielberg’s ‘Disclosure Day’ Has $44M Debut Opening Weekend

Steven Spielberg’s latest sci-fi adventure, ‘Disclosure Day,’ has debuted at No. 1 domestically, making $44 million from 3,824 theaters. The opening exceeded projections of $35 million but fell short of the $50 million some rival studios expected would be enough to justify its large budget. ‘Disclosure Day’ cost $115 million to produce and $80 million to market. It likely needs to generate about $300 million worldwide to turn a profit. Critics have responded positively to the film, giving it 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences were less enthusiastic, awarding it a B grade on CinemaScore. The mixed reception leaves its long-term box office prospects uncertain, though Spielberg’s movies have historically enjoyed strong staying power in theaters. Internationally, ‘Disclosure Day’ has earned $48.9 million across 73 markets, bringing its global opening weekend total to $92.9 million.
