Disclosure Day Roars to No. 1 as Masters of the Universe Stumbles

Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day opened No. 1 with $44 million at 3,824 theaters, topping estimates and kicking off a roughly $93 million global start (about $48.9 million overseas) as the film, produced for about $115 million with an $80 million marketing spend, eyes a breakeven near $300 million worldwide. In contrast, Masters of the Universe plunged about 71% in its second weekend to $8.6 million, underscoring weak turnout for the $200 million adventure, while Obsession held solid with $19 million in its fifth weekend to stay in second and Backrooms added $12 million in its third weekend. The overall summer box office is modestly ahead of last year but trails 2019’s pre-pandemic pace.
