‘Disclosure Day’ Just Beat Denis Villeneuve’s Sci-Fi Franchise-Starter at the Box Office, but There’s a Catch

Having completed a full month in theaters worldwide, Steven Spielberg's divisive sci-fi movie Disclosure Day still hasn't hit its projected break-even point. The movie wasn't astronomically expensive to produce, costing roughly half of what most major tentpoles cost these days. But it has struggled to build on solid opening-weekend momentum. Disclosure Day exceeded expectations in its debut frame, but had hefty drops in the subsequent weekends. The movie has, however, managed to pass the coveted $100 million mark domestically. That said, it can't be hailed as an objective win for Spielberg, who was coming off two back-to-back underperformers — the musical West Side Story and the semi-autobiographical drama The Fabelmans.
