After two full weeks of release in theaters, Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day<\/a> is on the verge of hitting its first domestic box office milestone. The movie registered another hefty drop this weekend after an unexpectedly soft hold in its second frame. But it exceeded expectations in its opening weekend by grossing almost $45 million, and that’s what has pushed it toward the $100 million mark in two weeks. Disclosure Day should be able to hit this coveted milestone in the next few days, or perhaps its third weekend at the latest. However, this is likely as far as it’ll go. The movie has been slowing down significantly in recent days, and with fresh competition around the corner in the form of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey<\/a>, there’s only so much further Disclosure Day can go. That said, the movie overtook a fellow sci-fi title this weekend \u2014 a 2013 film starring Spielberg’s former collaborator Tom Cruise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spielberg and Cruise worked together on Minority Report<\/a> and War of the Worlds<\/a>, which grossed a combined total of nearly $1 billion worldwide. Both movies also received positive reviews, as has Disclosure Day. However, Spielberg’s new movie has left audiences underwhelmed, going by its so-so B CinemaScore grade. The film holds a “Certified Fresh” 80% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “A humanistic variation on one of Steven Spielberg’s most revisited themes, Disclosure Day’s breathless pursuit of optimism in an age of conspiracy gets its biggest boost from career-highlight work by Emily Blunt.”<\/p>\n

Collider Exclusive \u00b7 Sci-Fi Survival Quiz
\n Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive?
\n The Matrix \u00b7 Mad Max \u00b7 Blade Runner \u00b7 Dune \u00b7 Star Wars<\/p>\n

Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong \u2014 or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.<\/p>\n

\n TEST YOUR SURVIVAL \u2192\n <\/p>\n

01<\/p>\n

You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do?
\n The first instinct is often the truest one.<\/p>\n

\n APull on every thread until I understand the system \u2014 then figure out how to break it.
\n BStop asking questions and start stockpiling \u2014 food, fuel, weapons. Questions don’t keep you alive.
\n CKeep my head down, observe carefully, and trust no one until I know who’s pulling the strings.
\n DStudy the patterns. Every system has a rhythm \u2014 learn it, and you learn how to survive it.
\n EFind the people fighting back and join them. You can’t fix a broken galaxy alone.\n <\/p>\n

NEXT QUESTION \u2192<\/p>\n

02<\/p>\n

In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely?
\n What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.<\/p>\n

\n AKnowledge. If you understand the system, you don’t need resources \u2014 you can generate them.
\n BFuel. Everything else \u2014 movement, power, escape \u2014 runs on it.
\n CTrust. In a world of fakes and informants, a truly reliable ally is rarer than any commodity.
\n DWater. And after water, information \u2014 the two things empires are truly built on.
\n EShips and credits. The galaxy is big \u2014 you survive it by being able to move through it freely.\n <\/p>\n

NEXT QUESTION \u2192<\/p>\n

03<\/p>\n

What kind of threat keeps you up at night?
\n Fear is useful data \u2014 if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.<\/p>\n

\n AThat reality itself is a lie \u2014 that everything I experience has been constructed to keep me compliant.
\n BA raid. No warning, no mercy \u2014 just the roar of engines and then nothing left.
\n CBeing identified. Once someone with power decides you’re a problem, you’re already out of time.
\n DBeing outmanoeuvred \u2014 losing a political game I didn’t even know I was playing.
\n EThe Empire tightening its grip until there’s nowhere left to run.\n <\/p>\n

NEXT QUESTION \u2192<\/p>\n

04<\/p>\n

How do you deal with authority you don’t trust?
\n Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.<\/p>\n

\n ASubvert it from the inside \u2014 learn its rules well enough to weaponise them against it.
\n BIgnore it and stay out of its reach. The further from any power structure, the better.
\n CAppear to comply while doing exactly what I need to do. Visibility is the enemy.
\n DManoeuvre within it carefully. You can’t beat a system you refuse to understand.
\n EResist openly when I have to. Some things are worth the risk of being seen.\n <\/p>\n

NEXT QUESTION \u2192<\/p>\n

05<\/p>\n

Which environment could you actually endure long-term?
\n Survival isn’t just tactical \u2014 it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.<\/p>\n

\n AUnderground bunkers and server rooms \u2014 cramped, artificial, but with access to everything that matters.
\n BOpen wasteland \u2014 brutal sun, no shelter, constant movement. At least the threat is honest.
\n CA dense, rain-soaked city where you can disappear into the crowd and nobody asks questions.
\n DMerciless desert \u2014 extreme heat, no water, and something enormous living beneath the sand.
\n EThe fringe \u2014 backwater planets and busy spaceports where the Empire’s attention rarely reaches.\n <\/p>\n

NEXT QUESTION \u2192<\/p>\n

06<\/p>\n

Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart?
\n The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.<\/p>\n

\n AA tight crew of believers who’ve seen behind the curtain and have nothing left to lose.
\n BOne or two people I’d trust with my life. Any more than that and someone talks.
\n CNobody, ideally. Alliances are liabilities. I work alone unless I have no choice.
\n DA community bound by shared hardship and mutual survival \u2014 people who need each other to last.
\n EA ragtag team with wildly different skills and total commitment when it counts.\n <\/p>\n

NEXT QUESTION \u2192<\/p>\n

07<\/p>\n

Where do you draw the line \u2014 if you draw one at all?
\n Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.<\/p>\n

\n AI won’t harm the innocent \u2014 even the ones who’d report me without hesitation.
\n BI do what I have to to protect the people I’ve chosen. Everything else is negotiable.
\n CThe line shifts depending on who’s asking and what’s at stake.
\n DI draw a long-term line \u2014 nothing that compromises my people’s future, even if it’d help now.
\n ESome lines, once crossed, can’t be uncrossed. I know which ones they are.\n <\/p>\n

NEXT QUESTION \u2192<\/p>\n

08<\/p>\n

What would actually make survival worth it?
\n Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.<\/p>\n

\n AWaking others up \u2014 dismantling the illusion so no one else has to live inside it.
\n BFinding somewhere \u2014 or someone \u2014 worth protecting. A reason to keep moving.
\n CAnswers. Understanding what I am, what any of this means, before time runs out.
\n DLegacy \u2014 shaping the future in a way that outlasts me by generations.
\n EFreedom \u2014 for myself, for others, for every world still living under someone else’s boot.\n <\/p>\n

REVEAL MY WORLD \u2192<\/p>\n

Your Fate Has Been Calculated
\n You’d Survive In\u2026<\/p>\n

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.<\/p>\n

The Resistance, Zion\n <\/p>\n

The Matrix<\/p>\n

You took the red pill a long time ago \u2014 probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.<\/p>\n

You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
\n You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you \u2014 your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
\n You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
\n The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.<\/p>\n

The Wasteland\n <\/p>\n

Mad Max<\/p>\n

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected \u2014 it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.<\/p>\n

You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
\n You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it \u2014 and you’re good at all three.
\n You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough \u2014 just barely \u2014 to be something more than another raider.
\n In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles, 2049\n <\/p>\n

Blade Runner<\/p>\n

You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.<\/p>\n

You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
\n In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
\n You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
\n In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.<\/p>\n

Arrakis\n <\/p>\n

Dune<\/p>\n

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe \u2014 and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.<\/p>\n

Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths \u2014 and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
\n You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
\n Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
\n In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis \u2014 you’d begin to reshape it.<\/p>\n

A Galaxy Far, Far Away\n <\/p>\n

Star Wars<\/p>\n

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval \u2014 and you wouldn’t have it any other way.<\/p>\n

You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself \u2014 a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
\n You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
\n You fight \u2014 not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
\n In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.<\/p>\n

‘Disclosure Day’ Has Surpassed Tom Cruise’s Overlooked Sci-Fi Spectacle<\/p>\n

Also featuring Josh O’Connor<\/a>, Colin Firth<\/a>, and Colman Domingo<\/a>, the movie grossed around $8 million in its third weekend, taking its domestic total to around $95 million. Disclosure Day has now surpassed the $89 million lifetime domestic haul of Oblivion<\/a>, the 2013 sci-fi film starring Cruise and directed by Joseph Kosinski<\/a>. The two would go on to work together on Top Gun: Maverick<\/a>, which grossed nearly $1.5 billion worldwide in 2022. Also featuring Andrea Riseborough<\/a>, Olga Kurylenko<\/a>, Morgan Freeman<\/a>, Melissa Leo<\/a>, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau<\/a>, Oblivion grossed nearly $290 million worldwide against a reported budget of $120 million. The movie holds a 53% score on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Visually striking but thinly scripted, Oblivion benefits greatly from its strong production values and an excellent performance from Tom Cruise.” Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.<\/p>\n
