- Disclosure Day is a thriller about a whistleblower who threatens to release a global archive of visual evidence of alien encounters and faces forces trying to stop the release.
- The film stars Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo and Colin Firth and has been screened in embargoed previews that drew early praise, especially for Blunt’s performance.
- Universal plans a mid-June theatrical release with 70mm and IMAX presentations, with coverage reporting either June 11 or June 12 as the opening date.
