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.

Spielberg’s Disclosure Day Delivers Big Start, Yet Profit Question Looms

Universal/Amblin’s Disclosure Day opened to about $19 million on Friday from 3,824 theaters and is projected to reach roughly $44 million domestic and $93 million globally for the weekend; it’s Spielberg’s best start since 2008 but the $115 million production budget (before marketing) makes profitability uncertain, despite strong reception (80% critics, 74% audience, CinemaScore B). Obsession remains robust, with a fifth-weekend total of about $21 million, while Scary Movie and Masters of the Universe log steep second-weekend drops ($15.6 million and $8.8 million). Michael the biopic continues to post world-beating totals (~$920 million worldwide) and eyes a continued climb, while limited openings like The Furious and Stop! That! Train! add to the weekend mix.
