Disclosure Day Opens No. 1 With $92.9M Weekend in Spielberg Return

Universal will watch the film’s multiweek box‑office holds to see if it reaches an estimated $300 million global breakeven and thereby sets the timing for PVOD and Peacock release windows.

Overview

  • The film opened at No. 1 in North America and worldwide with an estimated $44 million domestic and $48.9 million overseas for a $92.9 million opening over the June 12–14 weekend.
  • Universal spent about $115 million to produce the film and roughly $80 million to market it, and analysts say Disclosure Day needs roughly $300 million globally to break even from theatrical receipts.
  • Critics have been broadly positive (about an 80% critics score) while audience responses are more mixed, reflected in a B CinemaScore, creating uncertainty about its weekend‑to‑weekend staying power.
  • Premium formats helped the launch, with IMAX and large‑format screens contributing about $6.5 million overseas, and the opening skewed older with 41% of ticket buyers aged 45 and up.
  • Under Universal’s revised release policy, the studio is likely to keep the film in theaters for about seven weekends and target a late‑July PVOD window and an October Peacock debut if the film holds well at the box office.
