Steven Spielberg\u2019s returned to the big screen with\u00a0Disclosure Day<\/a>,\u00a0and the secret\u2019s out: audiences seem to like it.<\/p>\n

Per Variety<\/a>, the sci-fi film made $92.9 million worldwide for its debut weekend. Domestically, it opened to $44 million, decently above initial $35 million projections. Analyst Luiz Fernando<\/a> noted it\u2019s become the director\u2019s second highest-grossing domestic opening for his non-franchise films, beating out\u00a0Ready Player One ($41.8 million) and sitting comfortably behind War of the Worlds ($64.9 million).<\/p>\n

Universal\u2019s put a lot of marketing power behind Disclosure Day, reflected in the solid reception from critics.\u00a0Along with its director\u2019s clout, the film\u2019s packed with big actors of the moment like Emily Blunt, Josh O\u2019Connor, and Colman Domingo, with Blunt\u2019s performance considered a standout. Variety notes Spielberg movies tend to have long theatrical tails, so decent word of mouth from audiences may help it push forward in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

What might not get a further push is\u00a0Masters of the Universe<\/a>. It launched overseas this weekend and made just $39.4 million. Added up with the $46.7 million from the US,\u00a0Masters\u2019\u00a0total is now $86.1 million worldwide, so a summer winner, this is not. But as we discussed last week, the real judge for\u00a0Masters\u00a0and other Amazon MGM movies will be how it does on Prime Video when it eventually hits the platform.\u00a0Scary Movie 6<\/a>,\u00a0which opened alongside\u00a0Masters of the Universe, is now at $173.2 million worldwide<\/a> and close to beating\u00a0Scary Movie 4\u2019s\u00a0$178.6 million.<\/p>\n

This week,\u00a0Disclosure Day\u00a0will be joined by\u00a0Toy Story 5<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0The Death of Robin Hood,\u00a0with\u00a0Supergirl\u00a0closing out the month\u2019s genre movies on June 26.<\/p>\n
