Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' and Horror Hit 'Obsession' Lead US Box Office

Steven Spielberg’s new sci‑fi film Disclosure Day opened to a domestic three‑day gross of about $44 million, the strongest debut for a fresh Spielberg‑directed picture and driven largely by premium‑format screenings.

Indie horror Obsession, made for roughly $750,000, kept posting impressive weekly numbers, topping legacy blockbusters such as Avengers: Endgame, The Force Awakens and Spider‑Man: No Way Home on its 25th day and reaching a worldwide total of $234.5 million. The film’s sustained legs have made it the highest‑grossing horror title of the year and a rare example of exceptional profitability.

Together the two releases illustrate a shift in the summer market, where lower‑budget and adult‑oriented fare can compete with traditional franchise tentpoles.
