Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' opens to strong box office and mixed reviews

Steven Spielberg’s science‑fiction thriller Disclosure Day debuted on June 12, 2026. The film stars Emily Blunt as a TV weathercaster and Josh O’Connor as a cybersecurity expert who uncover a government cover‑up of extraterrestrial life. Supporting cast includes Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell and Colin Firth.

The movie opened to $19 million domestically and $94 million worldwide in its first weekend, with critics noting its ambitious premise and strong performances. Variety highlighted Domingo’s “heart and soul” in the film, while Deadline called it “masterfully crafted.”

Promotional events featured notable Hollywood friendships: Tom Cruise attended an advance screening with a custom Spielberg‑head popcorn bucket, and Colman Domingo told Variety he was “in awe” of Spielberg, adding that he believes “aliens are real.”

The release also sparked controversy. Nashville priest Dan Reehil claimed the film could be “cursed,” warning that its themes might “provoke demons” in viewers. Despite the comment, the film continues its theatrical run and is slated for a streaming release later this year.
