Overview
- Disclosure Day, Spielberg’s new thriller about a cybersecurity whistleblower exposing government-held evidence of extraterrestrial encounters, opens in Latin America on Thursday, June 11, and in the U.S. and Canada on Friday, June 12.
- Spielberg told interviewers he 'firmly believes' extraterrestrials have been here, citing documentaries, congressional testimony and reports he has followed over decades.
- Early reviews are broadly positive with an 89% Rotten Tomatoes debut and a Metacritic score near 73, though some critics fault the film for not fully exploring its central questions.
- Critics and early coverage single out Emily Blunt’s performance, Janusz Kamiński’s cinematography and John Williams’s score as standout elements of the production.
- The release is being marketed as a communal theatrical event with limited-run tie-in merchandise, and the film’s direct link to 2023 U.S. UAP hearings could extend public interest in real-world disclosure debates.
