Nearly a month into its theatrical run, director Steven Spielberg‘s first sci-fi movie in nearly a decade, Disclosure Day, has passed what will likely be its final box-office milestones. The movie had a strong start at the box office, but also experienced a steep drop-off in subsequent weeks because of mixed word-of-mouth. Disclosure Day earned a so-so B CinemaScore grade from opening day audiences, which spelled trouble for its theatrical run. Typically, movies that receive mediocre grades on CinemaScore perform poorly in the long run; it doesn’t matter if Spielberg is at the helm. The goodwill that the legendary filmmaker has earned over six decades was, however, enough for Disclosure Day to exceed expectations in its first weekend.
The film grossed nearly $100 million worldwide in its opening frame, but quickly fell off. Critical response to the movie was generally positive. It now holds a “Certified Fresh” 80% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “A humanistic variation on one of Steven Spielberg’s most revisited themes, Disclosure Day‘s breathless pursuit of optimism in an age of conspiracy gets its biggest boost from career-highlight work by Emily Blunt.” The film also featured Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson, and Wyatt Russell. It followed two characters connected by a shared past trauma, who are given the responsibility of communicating to the world that aliens exist.
Here’s How Much ‘Disclosure Day’ Has Grossed So Far
The movie grossed around $5.5 million domestically in its fourth weekend, pushing past the coveted $100 million mark. Disclosure Day has also surpassed the $200 million milestone at the worldwide box office. Produced on a reported budget of $115 million, the film needs to generate at least $250 million worldwide in order to break even, given the 50-50 revenue split between studios and exhibitors. Disclosure Day remains the lowest-grossing sci-fi movie directed by Spielberg in the 21st century, behind the likes of Ready Player One, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Minority Report, and War of the Worlds. If things don’t turn around, it will be categorized as Spielberg’s third box-office underperformer in a row, after West Side Story and The Fabelmans. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
