Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” earned $19 million on its opening day from 3,824 locations, according to box office data. The film is on course for a $44 million domestic and $93 million global opening weekend, marking Spielberg’s best opening since 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”

How does “Disclosure Day” compare to Spielberg’s previous hits?

The projected $44 million domestic opening for “Disclosure Day” exceeds the $41 million start of Spielberg’s 2018 film “Ready Player One.” It’s his strongest opening weekend in 16 years.

However, reception is mixed compared to his recent track record. The film holds an 81% critics score and 76% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, with a B on CinemaScore. This B grade is the first time Spielberg has received a CinemaScore below A- since “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”

Did You Know? “Disclosure Day” represents Steven Spielberg’s first summer movie release in a decade.

Will “Disclosure Day” be profitable?

The film faces a steep climb to turn a theatrical profit. Reports indicate a production budget of $115 million, which does not include marketing costs.

Given the current opening projections, the film may need sustained viewership to offset these costs. Whether it reaches profitability could depend on its long-term performance beyond the opening weekend.

Why is “Obsession” breaking horror records?

Focus Features’ “Obsession” continues to show strength despite larger weekend-to-weekend drops. Its fifth weekend total reached $21 million, which is higher than its own opening weekend.

The film is likely to become only the fifth horror film to gross $200 million domestically before inflation adjustment. It also stands to join Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” as the second original film to cross that $200 million mark since “Coco” in November 2017.

Expert Insight: Samantha Carter notes that the contrast between “Obsession” and “Masters of the Universe” highlights the current volatility of high-budget originals. While “Obsession” leverages longevity to hit a $200 million milestone, “Masters of the Universe” demonstrates how a massive budget can turn a modest opening into a financial disaster.

What happened to “Masters of the Universe” and “Scary Movie”?

Both Paramount/Miramax’s “Scary Movie” and Amazon MGM’s “Masters of the Universe” saw their earnings crash by at least 70% in their second weekends. “Scary Movie” brought in $15.6 million, while “Masters of the Universe” fell to $8.8 million.

What happened to "Masters of the Universe" and "Scary Movie"?
