Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' tops US box office

Steven Spielberg’s new sci‑fi thriller Disclosure Day opened to a $44 million domestic weekend, taking the top spot in the United States and Canada and reaching $92.9 million worldwide. The $115 million‑budget film gave the 79‑year‑old director his best opening for an original movie, outperforming analyst expectations of $40‑$50 million. Critics gave the film about 80 % fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and a B CinemaScore, while 41 % of the audience were age 45 and older. The closest challenger was the low‑budget indie horror Obsession, which earned $19 million in its fifth weekend and remains a strong profit story. Subsequent box‑office results show a mixed slate of releases, but Spielberg’s film is being billed as the summer’s leading blockbuster and a sign of a healthy box‑office rebound.
