Steven Spielberg's 'Disclosure Day' posts $93 M debut amid mixed reviews

Steven Spielberg's new science‑fiction thriller Disclosure Day opened to a $93 million global box‑office haul, positioning it as the director’s highest‑grossing U.S. release at age 79. Critics have praised its high‑octane set‑pieces but have also criticised an uneven script and a third act that some say drifts toward parody, resulting in a polarized reception.

The film follows whistleblower Daniel as he seeks to expose a governmental cover‑up of alien visitation. Central to the narrative are two former convent women – Sister Maura and her ex‑novice Jane – whose personal struggles intertwine with the larger conspiracy, raising questions about faith, free will, and humanity’s place in the universe.
