‘Disclosure Day’ debuts atop box office
Steven Spielberg’s latest sci-fi thriller, “Disclosure Day,” debuted in first place at the North American box office with $44 million in ticket sales, industry estimates showed on June 14.
With an ensemble cast led by Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor, the action-packed film follows an effort to reveal a decades-long coverup of extra-terrestrial visitations.
Decades after making “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977) and “E.T.” (1982), Spielberg returns to the burning question of whether humanity is alone but with a setting in our modern AI- and social media-altered world.
Second place went to Focus Features’ indie horror hit “Obsession,” which took in another $19 million in its fifth week out for a total domestic haul of $188.3 million, Exhibitor Relations reported.
