\n\tDirector Steven Spielberg<\/a> is back at the box office with an original alien thriller, \u201cDisclosure Day<\/a>.\u201d It has made $6.5 million at the box office in Thursday previews.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Universal and Amblin film is expected to open with $35 million at the box office this weekend and comes with a $115 million budget, plus $80 million in marketing costs. Despite Spielberg\u2019s name and track record, it\u2019s one of the summer\u2019s riskier gambles to launch a twisty, conspiracy thriller that isn\u2019t part of an existing IP or franchise. Some box office analysts predict that \u201cDisclosure Day\u201d would need to open with $50 million to justify its cost, and that it will need to make $300 globally to be profitable.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDisclosure Day\u201d stars Josh O\u2019Connor as a cybersecurity expert who discovers proof that aliens exist and Emily Blunt as a meteorologist that has a mysterious connection to the extraterrestrials. The cast also includes Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpielberg\u2019s last movie was 2022\u2019s Oscar contender \u201cThe Fabelmans,\u201d a semi-autobiographical family story that was nominated for best picture, director, original screenplay and more. Before that was 2021\u2019s musical remake of \u201cWest Side Story,\u201d but the director hasn\u2019t had a major box office hit since \u201cReady Player One\u201d in 2018. That made $607 million globally and was based on the video game-inspired book of the same name.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn recent weeks, the box office has been on a horror hot streak, with \u201cObsession,\u201d \u201cBackrooms\u201d and \u201cScary Movie\u201d all dominating the charts and becoming low-budget hits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Director Steven Spielberg is back at the box office with an original alien thriller, \u201cDisclosure Day.\u201d It has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":732408,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,162753,75,10780],"class_list":["post-732407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-disclosure-day","tag-entertainment","tag-steven-spielberg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=732407"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732407\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/732408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=732407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=732407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=732407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
