Disclosure Day Hits $94M Global Opening Weekend

Universal and Amblin's Steven Spielberg alien sci-fi film exceeded the $65 million forecast thanks to robust overseas results and strong domestic previews.

Disclosure Day has stormed the global box office with a $93.9 million opening weekend.

The Universal and Amblin production directed by Steven Spielberg posted stronger numbers than the $65 million initially projected by analysts. Overseas markets delivered the majority of the total.

Domestic ticket sales are tracking toward a $44 million debut. That total would mark the best opening weekend for any original Spielberg theatrical film.

The movie collected $6.5 million from Thursday previews that ran June 11 and 12. It launched June 12 across 3,824 domestic theaters.

Production costs reached an estimated $115 million, with an additional $80 million spent on marketing. The better-than-expected start reflects audience interest in Spielberg's latest original sci-fi project.

Deadline reported the worldwide figure on June 13 and highlighted the international strength driving results. Variety tracked the preview earnings the previous day.

Industry observers will monitor how the film holds in subsequent weekends, particularly given its substantial production and marketing investment.
