Spielberg Develops 'Disclosure Day' After 2 Box Office Flops

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 12

Summary

  • Steven Spielberg began working on “Disclosure Day” in 2023, positioning the project as a bid to regain blockbuster momentum after two commercial disappointments.
  • The push followed 2022’s “The Fabelmans,” an acclaimed autobiographical film that underperformed financially, and 2021’s “West Side Story,” which also failed at the box office despite strong reviews.
  • Those back-to-back misses fueled questions over whether the director behind “Jaws,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Saving Private Ryan” could return to the crowd-drawing spectacles that defined his career.
