Disclosure Day Eyes $35 Million U.S., $65 Million Global Opening for Spielberg

3 articles · Updated · Deadline · Jun 10

Summary

  • $35 million in North America and $65 million worldwide would likely put Disclosure Day at No. 1 on opening weekend for Universal and Amblin.
  • The $115 million film has seen its Rotten Tomatoes score slip to 85% from 90%, though that still tops Spielberg's War of the Worlds and A.I. and trails Close Encounters and Minority Report.
  • Spielberg's original sci-fi launches have often opened in the same range—Minority Report debuted at $35.6 million and A.I. at $29.3 million—making the new film's start solid rather than outsized.
  • The mature, 1970s-thriller-style alien story is tracking best with men over 25 and is expected to draw strongest overseas support from the UK, France, Germany and Australia.
